The Crypto Renaissance - Utopian and Fundition Mockup
The exhibition will feature large scale boards that document Steem and Sndbox community projects and apps active across the blockchain. An interactive centerpiece, the DAPP Tower, will feature Steem apps that visitors can browse real time.
In this post, we feature our Utopian-io Poster for the DAPP Tower that summarizes this open source project on the Steem blockchain.
In this post, we feature our Fundition Poster for the DAPP Tower that tells us more about this crypto-powered crowdfunding application and supportive community called Fundition.
Steem Quick-Start Pamphlet
The upcoming Crypto Renaissance exhibition will showcase the Steem blockchain and its decentralized applications. An informative Exhibition Pamphlet will be in circulation during the exhibition, containing exhibition details and an introduction to the Steem blockchain. With this post, we're asking YOU for your favorite links, resources, infographics and descriptions of all things Steem that will comprise the contents of the Exhibition Pamphlet.

Surveying and 3D-Modeling the Gallery
We are getting preparations under way as we get ready to visualize the gallery area and plan out the components of the exhibition. The exciting placement of the tower that showcases the Sndbox symbol is seen in 3D model standing high at 6'-9' and will provide information from various subjects on each side of the wall with potentially interactive iPads in front. We anticipate lots of exposure since the building facade is mostly glass opening up the exhibition space to the public.
