On Tuesday, July 1st at 18:00 (CET), the 20-year-old Elvis Karabekian celebrates the premiere of his first solo digital art exhibition at the Bitropolis Gallery in Twinity. Mr. Karabekian will discuss his series of paintings on opening night, including “Kamikaze (I-III)”, “Jolly Roger”, “Atomic” and “Warhead”.

Everyone at the event receives a limited edition, free Elvis Karabekian t-shirt. Enjoy the art of the future and wear it on your back!

How to get there: Log in to Twinity, click the globe icon in your toolbar and select ‘Bitfilm Bitropolis‘ from Recommended Places. A Twinity representative will direct you to the gallery!

Twinity is back online, and a new license agreement

Apologies for the longer-than-expected downtime with yesterday’s release. We encountered a few hiccups along the way. Twinity is now back online and should be running normally.

Also, with the latest release, we’ve incorporated support for Ogg video. As a result of this, you’ll get a new license agreement that will explain the terms of Ogg. As you can read, Ogg is open-source and there are no fees associated with its inclusion in Twinity, or your use of Twinity.

Please contact support if you have any issues after the update.
