This event is invite-only.

Immaterial World challenges us to examine the intangible elements surrounding us—some paradoxically chased through material means. Our world increasingly values new kinds of immaterial assets: cryptocurrency, subscription-based services, digital rentals, and unicorn startups built on promises rather than tangible stability. Yet, we've always lived immersed in another immaterial dimension—language, culture, traditions—intangible yet foundational, deeply shaping our identity and humanity. This shift calls not only for adaptation but for deeper reflection on how our priorities evolve as we navigate a society driven by immaterial promises and imagined possibilities. What might appear as an error can also be seen as a leap of faith—a beautifully human act of bravery, or perhaps naiveté: the capacity to see potential.
