Miami Art Week | SURFACE Mag x Polygon

Curated by MOKIBABY

 

Words by surface

If Miami Art Week 2021 was Web3’s coming out party, this year is when creators and attendees plunged deeper into the real-world applications of blockchain technology and the merging of the physical and digital worlds, a coalescence the industry is calling “phygital.” 

Surface and Polygon joined forces to transform a bungalow at the W South Beach into an experiential platform for salon-style conversations surrounding Web3’s potential in sustainability, fashion, art, and community-driven fields. Designed by Miami–based artist MokiBaby, installations by panelists and other partners were showcased against her disco-fied lightwave aesthetic, including contributions from OffLimits, Spatial Labs, LNQ, Prism Collective, Recur, WORTHLESSSTUDIOS, and more.

In celebration of our partnership with Polygon, we also launched a collection of limited-edition digital Surface magazine covers. Members of the Surface community can mint one of three 3D Surface NFTs, featuring Daniel Humm, Solange Knowles, and Guerilla Girls.

TL;DR

“ Usability is about people and how they understand and use things, not about technology.”

- Steve Krug, Author of “Don’t Make Me Think”
