As we move ever forward into the merging of Digital/Physical, the RΞNAISSANCΞ pairs Chicago Designers with Web3 artists to create a 1 to 1 Phygital Fashion Exhibition. The local creators will produce tokens that symbolize what is possible when we come together to push the limits of innovation in the windy city. 7 Designers have been paired with 7 web3 artists. The Designers sourced from Chicago Fashion Coalitions roster have each created a physical product. They collaborated with the web3 artist to produce a token that is a visual representation of the physical item. This partnership brings forward a 1/1 object that exists in the Digital & Physical realm. In supporting this first of its kind opportunity, 14 local designers & artists will be able to exhibit their work to a large audience at the imnotArt gallery.
