ENTROPY IN PROTOPIA
BY WILL SELVIZ & RENDRD
THE VISION
ENTROPY IN PROTOPIA explores themes of belonging, the immigrant experience, and speculative futures through an afro-surrealist lens.
In a world of mass migration, globalization, and refugee displacements it is essential to empower the voices that carry the cultural legacy and folklore for generations to come.
Our project leverages cutting-edge technology in Artificial Intelligence (AI), 3D Animation, and Web 3 to build worlds that depict narratives in collaboration with Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) and creatives from underrepresented communities.
In short, we empower and fund underrepresented creatives in Canada and across the globe to engineer futures where developing nations thrive.
This is your invitation to foster and become a part of our ecosystem of innovative solutions.

ENTROPY
A scientific concept as well as a measurable physical property that is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.
PROTOPIA
A state that is better than today than yesterday, although it might be only a little better.
Why are some cultures often ignored or misrepresented in mainstream media?
How might we ensure underrepresented voices benefit from their own creative genius?
What will developing nations look like in 2094?
"ENTROPY IN PROTOPIA - GENESIS" is a response to these critical questions. Today we present you with a world that symbolizes the early stages of a game-changing project.
