About the Artist
Agustín Di Luciano is an Argentinian interdisciplinary artist, engineer, and tech entrepreneur. He graduated as an engineer from the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology (ITBA), where he received several national and international awards.
A self-taught digital painter since the first iPhone, his practice spans from mobile digital painting to large-scale public murals. Agustín thrives at the intersection of immersive 3D digital art and drawing.
He was the first artist to exhibit in the open metaverse Decentraland.org in 2017, marking a milestone in the integration of art within immersive 3D digital environments.
He lives and works in Miami, where his studio, Tower Artist Studios Miami, is located in the historic Tower Hotel, Miami, FL.

A journey through primordial darkness
Agustín Di Luciano designs an experience where art and technology amplify each other to transform drawing into a living, boundless landscape—creating a universe where the senses intertwine within a state-of-the-art immersion.
The exhibition unfolds within an expanded notion of time and space. The concept of the chronotope, taken from philosopher and theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, refers to the way time and space intertwine within an artistic form. Di Luciano translates this idea into a contemporary language by merging drawing, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence to inhabit a digital chronotope: an environment where plastic matter becomes responsive to the viewer's movement, gaze, and awareness.
In a hypnotic visual terrain emerging from the depth of black, the artist shapes a hybrid, sensitive landscape—skies inhabited by his moving drawings, luminous portals, and a desert of cactaceous plants arising from a reactive ground.
This universe forms a constellation of experiences that unfold uniquely with each journey, directed, activated, and transformed by the audience itself.
Di Luciano invites us to remember that, at the intersection of time, technology, and landscape, a possibility of re-enchantment still beats within us: to once again perceive the world as something alive, mysterious, and deeply connected.

Foundational story
Inspiration
Since 2017, I've been an early contributor to Decentraland.org, proposing a user-owned, blockchain-based metaverse. That experience showed me how the metaverse can become a space to build better worlds—ones that can positively influence our physical reality.
Most VR apps today focus on competition, combat, or productivity, while the art world remains mostly static and 2D. With today's immersive tools, we can go beyond that—to create art that heals and helps people feel better.
This mission became personal when a very close family member attempted suicide last year. As she recovered, she tried my VR work and said, "Wow, this feels like a dream." That moment confirmed my belief that art and technology together can lift emotional states and help people reconnect with joy.
