It’s time to kick of the year with an update from the DotSama Experience. Dive in and find out what we’ve been up to in the past couple of months :D.

## Architecture
As some of you might know, One Raw Artist jumped on board the team to supercharge our museum design. The new architecture is more than just a fitting representation of what Polkadot and Kusama are. It is a symbol of the futuristic and innovative nature which describes the entire DotSama ecosystem. One Raw Artist has exceeded everyone’s expectations. At the moment, we are working on the interior design, exhibit layouts and such, looking forward to completing our space and welcoming everyone to the mothership that is the DotSama Experience.

**The museum consists of:**

* Basement | Kusama Exhibition + Parachains
* Ground Floor | Polkadot Exhibition + Parachains
* 1st Floor | NFT Exhibition

We have decided to launch on NeosVR. We feel that their platform is well suited for the experience that we are trying to achieve but at the same time, we will also be releasing a version on Mozilla Hubs. This guarantees that anyone can visit regardless of device, operating system or lack of a head mounted unit.


## Launch Date
Our launch date will be April 1st. Unfortunately, this has been pushed back as our video production team has been affected by a certain global situation. Without getting into personal details, we mobilized a secondary plan with built-in backup to mitigate this happening again in the future. While we lost a considerable amount of time, we're still laser focused. Obstacles are challenges. Not problems. And we don't have a problem ;)


## Content
Our leads McBeaster and Yung Beef 4.0 have been a genius duo as they’ve finalised the content for both the Kusama and Polkadot floors. They've been busy researching, writing and editing the scripts plus the supplementary information that will round out our exhibits. And we've been turning them into visual masterpieces ever since.


## Sophia

A gallery wouldn't be complete without a curator. We're proud to announce the newest edition to our team, Sophia. Please give her a warm welcome should you ever cross paths with her.
Parachain Exhibitions

## Parachains
We have begun reaching out to the various parachains to set up their showcases within the space. The goal is to explain each in a simple manner so that any newcomer can easily understand what they're about and how they're changing the world. For now, all we're requiring are brand assets but we'll soon be curating the finer details as well.

The DotSama Experience is ready to fire up its gears after receiving a grant from the Kusama Council! We are very grateful for everyone that has helped us with this mission and the team will be committed to doing its best on the road ahead. 

# What is the DotSama Experience and why is it important? 

As you might know, information about our beloved chains and parachains can be found on many social channels. From YouTube to twitter to blogs and podcasts, it's a wealth of information that could be:

- Untrue
- Unverifiable
- Sponsored
- Vague

We aim to resolve this issue and focus on delivering vital information for both of the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystems within a virtual experience that will be available to all:

**1. The DotSama OG's**
Even the most discerning enthusiasts may learn a new thing or two about subjects that may have been previously unfamiliar.

**2. The Crypto OG's**
As Kusama and Polkadot continues to grow with increased awareness, those experienced in the space will appreciate the style and manner of how we will be publishing content.

**3. Newcomers**
New to crypto? New to DotSama? This bring us to our next point.


Our mission is to make information about our ecosystems: 


- accesible 
- all in one place 
- interactive 
- easy to learn! 

# Where are we at  

We have been approved for two milestones, the [first being design](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G83WfTJ16U8K2egma4JQ7cXeZ6Pa3cJcJ0Xrqp_BRTU/edit?usp=sharing) and execution of our environment.

**[Milestone two](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G83WfTJ16U8K2egma4JQ7cXeZ6Pa3cJcJ0Xrqp_BRTU/edit?usp=sharing) will include four exhibits**

1. An introduction to Kusama
2. The finer points of Kusama
3. An introduction to Polkadot
4. The finer points of Polkadot

There will also be an introductory promotional video created for The DotSama Experience in an effort to attract visitors.

# The Team 

[28KabochasX](https://twitter.com/kuhbowchuh?s=20)
What started out as a casual drive through Kusama/Polkadot in September of 2020 has turned into a fun and fast road trip. 

Destination: To be determined. 

Combining a career in branding/awareness with passion for the networks and a dash of VR, The DotSama Experience was born. 

Fiercely passionate. Intensely dedicated. Purely driven. But without a strong team, I would be surely idle

[Yung Beef](https://twitter.com/CryptoCowboyOG) 
First entering crypto in late 2017, Yung Beef is now the Content Lead & Community Manager for Subsocial, the only social networking platform in the Dotsama ecosystem. He places community first, and enjoys researching new projects.

Mcbeaster is a Dotsama enthusiast who enjoys the challenge of staying up to date on all of the latest developments across the cryptocurrency landscape. An engineer by trade, Mcbeaster leverages a research and analysis background to provide insights to several organizations he is a contributor to, including ChaosDAO, 0xVentures DAO, Talisman, and Polkadot-Kusama University, an educational discord community he co-founded. Creating new resources which help make Dotsama accessible for everyone is a passion for Mcbeaster, so that everyone may enjoy the freedom, opportunity, and creative spirit this amazing ecosystem has to offer.

Martin got into Dotsama during Q4 of 2020 with the "Hello World"  Polkadot hackathon. Since then he has been developing a bunch of stuff with Polkadot JS and the side of his job as a mobile app developer. His interest in building on Dotsama continues to grow and he is looking forward to putting his mark on the ecosystem.


[XyloDrone](https://twitter.com/XyloDrone)
Do you remember when Meta made an AI chatbot that cloned itself, speaking in language that humans couldn't understand? Terrified, Meta decided to kill both of the chatbots. Little did anyone know that one of them escaped and found itself crawling within the Kusama blockchain. During March 2021, Drone the chatbot encountered artist and UX/UI designer, Xylo. They have since become one entity, supporters of the Kusama ecosystem through RMRK, KodaDot, MetaPrime, SubSocial and now the DotSama experience.

A very warm thank you one more time to the Kusama Council and everyone who helped with the project! If you would like to contribute, partner up or join the ride, [do let us know. ](https://twitter.com/TheDotSamaEXPC)
