Then the pandemic hit, and we teamed up with the <a href=\"https:\/\/mixedreality.mozilla.org\/\">Mozilla Mixed Reality<\/a> team to make it more accessible while also demonstrating the capabilities of social VR with <a href=\"https:\/\/hubs.mozilla.com\/\">Hubs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We now welcome visitors to <a href=\"https:\/\/hubs.mozilla.com\/yenzhCn\/museum-of-the-fossilized-internet\/\">explore the museum at home through their browsers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The museum was created to be a playful source of inspiration and an invitation to imagine more positive, sustainable futures. Here\u2019s a demo tour to help you get started on your visit.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Tour of the Museum of the Fossilized Internet\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CmpGmOcXj7w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>Video Production: Dan Fernie-Harper; Spoke scene: Liv Erickson and Christian Van Meurs; Tour support: Elgin-Skye McLaren.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Foresight workshops<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all. We are also building on the museum with a series of foresight workshops. Once we know what preferable, sustainable alternatives look like, we can start building towards them so that in a few years, this museum is no longer just a thought experiment, but real.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Projects\/Sustainability\/Workshops#Pilot_Policy_Workshop:_Sustainability_and_Trustworthy_AI\">Our first foresight workshop will focus on policy<\/a> with an emphasis on trustworthy AI. In a pilot, facilitators Michelle Thorne and Fieke Jansen will specifically focus on the strategic opportunity that the European Commission is in the process of defining its AI strategy, climate agenda and COVID-19 recovery plans. Thought together, this workshop will develop options to advance both, trustworthy AI and climate justice.<\/p>\n<p>More foresight workshops should and will follow. We are currently looking at businesses, technology, or the funders community as additional audiences. Updates will be available on <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Projects\/Sustainability\">the wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You are also invited to join the sustainability team as well as our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2020\/07\/13\/sustainability-needs-culture-change-introducing-environmental-champions\/\">environmental champions<\/a> on our <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.mozilla.org\/#\/room\/#sustainability:mozilla.org\">Matrix<\/a> instance to continue brainstorming sustainable futures.
