Abstract
As the zoom fatigue spreads, we dream the dream of a dream in virtual lands. Come join us for a cybernetic picnic on the wonder.me platform.
Picnic blankets have been prepared for you. There is a fun palace blanket, a blanket with otters, a west coast blanket, a magic blanket, and many more. Choose yours! Other people will join.
Be advised, entering the virtual lands is not entirely free. There is one obstruction. You have to bring with your virtual self two virtual cybernetic objects. Choose wisely.

Technicalities:
A Cybernetic Picnic will take place on the wonder.me platform. Unfortunately, wonder will not run on a tablet or phone. Participants will need to have either the edge or google chrome browser installed on a computer. No other browser will work. No other software is needed. The computer should have a camera, a microphone, and audio output.
Participants will be asked to create an account when they connect to the wonder.me platform for the first time. They will also be asked to provide an initial very short description of their cybernetic objects, a maximum of 60 characters.
Here is a brief video explaining how the wonder.me platform works
