Is the metaverse built on foundations of hype?

Beyond the Hype

About this episode

In this episode, Colin Eberhardt is joined for a discussion about Web3 by his colleague Oliver Cronk, and guests Johanna Eiramo from the Finnish National Gallery, and Lilly Pencheva, a Blockchain & Web3 Specialist. As it's quite a challenging and volatile topic, we should state that the opinions raised in this podcast are personal views rather than the views of any current or former employer.

In the discussion, they ask the question "What is Web3?" and explore what it means to be a decentralised technology. They discuss the metaverse, Roblox and other virtual environments, and very briefly touch on Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). But for the most part, they talk about exploration and innovation.

They begin the discussion with Johanna talking about bringing digital artwork into the virtual world of the metaverse, and the Finnish National Gallery's motivation for experimenting with technology.
