11:11 is a multiversal art project by
Muse, opening near Los Lunas, New Mexico in July, 2021. To begin the project, Muse purchased a 0.17-acre lot in an undeveloped subdivision. To align with the
Multiversal vision of Muse, 11:11 will host one-of-a-kind exhibits in the physical world, digital web, and ethereal realm.

The 11:11 project is unique in that it pairs the physical reality space with the ethereal realm. To achieve this, Muse is partnering with a wide variety of multimedia artists. Vvarren, the creative director behind Muse, is spearheading the planning and onboarding process.
The theme of 11:11 is "Time's relation to emptiness," and we are asking contributing artists to consider this concept while creating their pieces. The property is situated on the 11th block of an abandoned sub division in the middle of the desert. Given the property's intense seclusion, we have chosen the never-ending passage of time to be our primary showcase. The ephemeral landscapes that surround us also tend to convince us of their permanence; there is something about seasonal shifts which deceives one's understanding of reality. Even untouched landscapes have been artificially constructed through the ways in which we frame them in our society. The most remote island on this planet is not a natural landscape in this regard, but a romanticized figment of imagination in the minds of those who have chosen to consider it.
11:11 is currently set to open at the beginning of July. In January we began working on framework for the concept, as well as the digital network that will power it. In February we purchased land for the gallery, as well as began recruiting our first artists. In March and April we will continue developing the ethereal side of the gallery, and in May we will begin construction at the physical site location. We will be accepting contributions from physical artists until May 15, and from digital artists until June 1.
