Wedged between Piazza Publica and Shenzhen Pink in Cryptovoxels' Origin City, sits a true ode to vaporwave. SadPlanet Virtual may be a baffling piece of eye candy that stands out compared to the more modern, single coloured buildings at first. Looking inside, though, the plaza gives an in-depth look at modern and past vaporwave themes alike. Its design and colours are reminiscent of the visuals seen on vaporwave discs, vinyl records, cassettes, and designs alike. Audio files from artists like Vektroid, ２８１４, and James Ferraro are posted onto the parcels along with surreal, vaporwave-like
pieces of CryptoArt. The plaza and its art are made and curated mostly by RobNess, run off an Etherium blockchain currency system that allows its upkeep Cryptovoxels. Alongside its vast collection of popular vaporwave tracks and its gallery of art, the plaza holds stories behind the book Memphis Megahertz and the Kansas City Fractal, videos on what vaporwave is, and even a parcel displaying “Music of the Day”. Cryovoxels supports both browser and VR viewing, so whether you'd just like to chill with a headset on or admire it on your laptop, this small guide can help you navigate SadPlanet Virtual.
