Field notes
The page introduces the artists and gives individual context for their portal concepts. Sophia Nahli Allison’s Pluto portal imagines a Black woman as the first traveler there, moving through isolation, ancestral memory, and the possibility of creating a new world order. The experience is described as combining game-engine interaction with video, photography, music, and sound design; the extract does not establish what devices are needed to enter it.
