We brought Miami’s premiere digital art and music festival to life.

The Story

For Art Basel ‘22, we partnered with NFT media company nftnow and real estate conglomerate Mana to create The Gateway: a web3 metropolis. The 5 day festival spanned 2 city blocks across twelve buildings with 19 heavy-hitter sponsors across art, web3, fashion, and gaming industries industries – including Porsche, Instagram, Faze, Moonpay, and Christies.

Digital Experience

We creative directed and strategized the entire festival, working with our partners to design each sponsor space and create immersive experiences – including transforming a bank into a projection space for blue chip Christies artists. At the center of the festival was Nucleus (2022), an interactive.
