HOLOLIFE SPEAKERS
In the shadow of steam-driven cities, where crumbling medieval kingdoms reluctantly yielded to the hissing valves and grinding gears of a new age, the first members of the Hololife Movement gathered.
Their meeting place: an abandoned factory in Estonia created on the Viking lands by a German medieval industrialist, whose stone walls concealed a secret laboratory unlike any in 16th century Europe.
Their convergence at this abandoned factory was no accident. They had recovered a small copper cylinder that apparently belonged to Paracelsus, a Swiss physician, alchemist, and philosopher of the German Renaissance.
He was a pioneer in several aspects of the medical revolution, emphasizing the value of observation in combination with received wisdom. According to a former student of Paracelsus, the small cylinder would help them recover the Cradle of Longevity.
