In the heart of the digital ether, a collection unprecedented in form and history has emerged. "Hallucinated Artifacts" stands as a monument to the convergence of art, archaeology, and technology. This exhibition presents a curated selection of 3D models, each a digital relic hailing from various corners of a virtual civilization that flourished from the late 21st to the mid-22nd century. These artifacts, ranging from profound pieces of art to objects of archaeological significance, offer a window into the culture, aesthetics, and technological advancements of a society that exists parallel to our own physical reality.

The collection was unearthed in a series of digital excavations that began in the year 2098. Curated with the intent of sparking dialogue on the evolution of culture in the digital age, this exhibition invites visitors to ponder the implications of digital immortality, the preservation of virtual heritage, and the future trajectory of human creativity.

"Hallucinated Artifacts" is not merely an exhibition; it is a bridge to a past that exists in bytes and pixels, a testament to a digital era that mirrors our own in complexity and vibrancy. As we wander through this collection of digital relics, we are invited to reflect on the legacy we are creating in our own digital epoch and how future civilizations might perceive the artifacts we leave behind.
