An online Virtual Reality artwork and shared social space for remote interaction with an animated, sonified 3D scan of Dubship I – Black Starliner, and with other people. Digi-Dub Club is a world on the VRChat platform, launched in November 2020, in which a fire burns perpetually in a night-time desert landscape, next to a shipping-container bar. Ruins of large-scale sculptures jut from the surrounding sands. It is a set waiting to be inhabited, an artworld in development, and a continually evolving experiment; one of over 25,000 user-created worlds for remote social interaction in VRChat. The development of the world was supported by a grant from the African Culture Fund.
