Afrofuturist exhibition portals

Handmade NFC-enabled portals bridge physical fashion + digital experiences

CHROMAKAIROS created handmade futuristic portals for ¡GloLoCo!, a collaborative exhibition at Palazzo Morando between the Afro Fashion Association and Red-Eye Metazine, with the support of SPIN.FASHION and Genera Labs.

Each portal accompanied artworks and mannequins throughout the exhibition, serving as tactile gateways to digital experiences. Visitors touched their phones to the portals to experience AR artworks, explore the metaverse counterpart of the exhibition, try on outfits virtually, and connect with the designers on social media. Bilingual supporting signage accompanied each NFC with QR codes and printed shortlinks, providing multiple access points for diverse audiences.
