Love in the Age of the Metaverse
“What a delightful moment!”, the joy shining seemingly even brighter than the famous golden painting. “A great and happy moment!” Svitlana Orlynska is translating her mother’s words from Ukrainian. Svitlana has been a successful marketing manager in Vienna for several years; she was able to bring her parents from Kyiv to Austria only shortly before Christmas 2022. United in front of the original Kiss, they are now experiencing together the high point thus far of a love story that began in the Metaverse before war broke out. Svitlana says “I love Klimt!”, and when she heard in the media about the Belvedere’s planned NFT launch in January of the previous year, it was immediately clear to her: “That’s just the right gift for my future husband!” But both her wedding and Valentine’s Day were coming up, and for the latter she wanted to surprise her parents with something special, especially since her mother’s name is Valentyna.
