In November 2022, we held our annual Open House a meeting in which we summarize the work that has been done with/around The Hologram as well as the projects planned for the future.

You can watch the recap of the first part of the Open House in this video:

Among the highlights was the introduction of a User's Spell, a document informed by what we learned over the past two years about what it necessary and what it takes to facilitate the Hologram in public. From now on, this Spell is going to be used as the guidelines for any work with/in The Hologram.

We also compiled a list of all the resources available to the public that the Hologram has produced so far.

A full "receipt" of public events, tools, and other activities that we organized in 2022 can be found in this pdf.

In the second part of the Open House, we heard from organizers who have done, are working on, or are developing a project with/in The Hologram. These included:
