Madison/Milwaukee events platform UnderBelly teamed up with local creators to create a virtual festival that is not a "live" event that is just being broadcast online; it's really a festival that explores the unique aspects of what a virtual happening can be. Described as an "immersive art experience" with music from Madison's Maggie Cousin and Dudley Noon, during What's the Future, participants will also encounter imaginative visuals (including work by Araceli Zuniga, pictured at top), Easter eggs and hidden Q&As, performances, and more.
