Era 4: Marc Chagall & La Chèvre
I rode into the Metaverse gardens on the back of my trusty screaming goat “La Chèvre,” holding on for dear life with my famous seven-fingered hand and my paintbrush in the other. The goat itself looked like something straight out of one of my own surrealist paintings, with its abstract features and otherworldly appearance.
I caught up with the conversation that was already underway between the few already there, and listened as they discussed the state of the world and the struggles for change and justice. As a painter, I couldn’t help but be struck by the surreal and wondrous sights around me, and I shared my thoughts with the group.
“It’s all so very strange and otherworldly,” I said. “It’s like something straight out of one of my own paintings.”
As we continued to talk, one of the pink glitter pooping unicorns walked over and sniffed the goat’s butt, causing us all to burst into laughter.
“Ah, the joys of life in the Metaverse,” I chuckled.

But as the laughter subsided, I shared an idea for a new abstract painting that I thought would be perfectly fitting for this strange digital realm.
“I envision a canvas filled with swirling colours and shapes, representing the constantly shifting and unpredictable nature of the Metaverse,” I explained. “In the centre, there would be a unicorn and a goat, symbolizing the strange and wondrous creatures that inhabit this place. And all around them, the figures of Karl, Leo, and the stable boy, representing the diverse and multifaceted humanity that exists within this digital world.”
As we continued to talk, Albert Einstein chimed in with his thoughts on my idea for a new abstract painting.
“I must say, Marc, your vision for this painting is truly imaginative,” he said. “I can see how it would perfectly capture the essence of the Metaverse and all its strange and wondrous inhabitants.”
I smiled at Einstein’s words and replied, “Thank you, Albert. It’s always a pleasure to share ideas with such a brilliant mind as yours.”
Einstein chuckled and replied, “Well, I may be a scientist, but I have always had a deep appreciation for the arts. And I must say, your ability to capture the surreal and abstract nature of the world around us is truly remarkable.”
As we continued to discuss my idea for the painting, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to exchange ideas with such an intelligent and creative group of individuals. It was clear to me that no matter what form we took in the Metaverse, our human desire to understand and create was a constant that transcended time and place.
