the mini stage which is usually a rebroadcast of a few things but we have an intro workshop here happening with a lot of really cool people I do collab we've got Maker doing some intro workshops we've got simona pop from OSC doing some workshops here intro stuff for hackers but if you just pan out here for a second you can see the bidding has already begun everybody is just getting down to business look at these people they're slaving away they're trying to win the bounties there's a lot of money on the line this year so it's it makes sense that people are getting started early forming their teams brainstorming doing all sorts of crazy stuff all right we just left the chill zone where we were chilling and now it's a bit of a high-stakes game here we're in the VIP zone these people are you know the top shelf of our industry so I just want to know what makes you a VIP I think a little bit we're a longtime supporters eath denver we I've been to every single one so that's awesome are you

we're gonna have a ton of talks on Saturday some really great content but let's leave the VIPs alone for a bit and we'll continue our tour and we'll get over to the Zen zone that's even more chill than the chill zone so on our way to the Zen zone we are gonna cruise through an incredible art exhibition come with me starting with this knitting here into this amazing light and ambient sound zone got a lot of cool sounds coming and hitting you directionally a lot of great light on this wall over here and then we're gonna head over into I think the ambient noise is a speaker call there a speaker phone call people are trying to you know do a little business in the corner check this out okay let's go in here and check out some of the sounds okay watch your head whoa so I got the details on this zone if we just kind of cruise around there's 15 speakers with different sounds and so depending on like where you're lying you're gonna kind of get a different experience every time so this is quite impressive so we had a I believe it was a team like burners from Burning Man come and set this up so this is this is incredible so let's duck out here though and continue on to the Zen zone so let's check out the rest of this installation over here though this is just beautiful well cruise by we'll check out some of the ambient art here guys what do you think of the art set up here on
