During Miami Art Week in December 2025, Balanced Forces brought CODE:BLUE to South Beach. Right in front of the Sagamore Hotel, the beach became three augmented reality zones running from the shoreline to the sand, all built with illust.
- When: Miami Art Week, December 2025
- Where: South Beach, in front of the Sagamore Hotel, Miami Beach
- Selection: 43 works chosen from more than 110 submissions worldwide
- Formats: 3D art, AI-generated pieces, digital painting, photography, video and immersive sound
Three zones of AR on the beach
Visitors walked between the zones and found sculptures on the sand, creatures in the surf and works floating against the Miami skyline. Alongside the beach show, the CODE:BLUE Tiny Gallery, made with EpikNFT and The Patrunos, showed three selected artworks inside a 3D-printed miniature gallery.
