EXCALIBUR believes that with the advancement of technology, there will no longer be a clear difference between the real world and virtual reality in the future. Atomic bomb, the virtual currency Ethereum, and the ancient Roman concept of Memento Mori can be seen as symbols of the virtual and the real world, as well as the question of whether or not the world is being manipulated by someone as it can be seen from the controllers below. This is EXCALIBUR's vision of the new universe to come.
