We are at a decisive moment in human history, which reinforces the need to constantly ask ourselves: how do we want to coexist with each other, and how do we want to coexist with the planet? The technologies we develop and refine are more powerful, altering our bodies, our trajectory, and impacting the world. But what are we becoming?

In producing and consuming with the urgency demanded by modernity, we forget to reflect on how we have manipulated the environment, sometimes irreparably, by extracting resources that meet the needs of an increasingly urbanized planet. This frenetic and irresponsible production creates a dichotomy: we have access to efficiency, comfort, and speed, while contributing to aggressive climate change and increased pollution rates in the soil, water, and air – impacts that are difficult to ignore and that highlight the fact that we cannot separate Humanity from Nature.

The Museum of Tomorrow presents RePangeia, a sensory experience in Virtual Reality that encourages us to rethink our relationship with the Earth and with each other. Developed by the Laboratory of Activities of Tomorrow – LAA, and presented by Santander, the experience was inspired by Technoshamanism, which emerged in Brazil amidst the free software movement, proposing a relationship between technology and shamanism, between technique and nature, calling for a technology of the future linked to the ancestry of peoples and at the same time committed to terrestrial biodiversity – one that will no longer serve devastation.

In this Virtual Reality experience, developed in partnership with Intel, three people "meet" in another space-time and are called upon to help an environment out of control due to the dissociation between Humanity and Nature. The title is inspired by Pangaea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago. Its name, derived from Greek, means "all the Earth," a concept that refers to the first time "our home" was seen in its entirety from Space. This fact changed our perception of the planet: it was the first time we perceived our fragility and finitude amidst the vastness of the Universe. In this futuristic collective virtual ritual, participants discover the need for a common understanding that we are interdependent and connected and, only in this way, can we save the world and ourselves.
