The Grand Opening of 37xDubai
Later this October, the 37xDubai art gallery will throw open its doors, serving as a vibrant intersection where traditional artistry meets the digital revolution of NFTs and the expansive Web3 ecosystem. This initiative isn’t just about showcasing art; it’s a grand educational mission targeting artists and art lovers alike.
Meet Danilo Carlucci: The Visionary Behind the Gallery
We had a sit-down with Danilo Carlucci, who, like a modern-day art wizard, is conjuring up a space where creativity and technology dance together. As the founder of Morningstar Ventures—and the 37xDubai gallery—Carlucci shared insights on their daring venture into the ever-evolving world of digital art.
A Cultural Bridge Built on Creativity and Innovation
Carlucci describes the gallery as a bridge connecting the realms of art and technology. Morningstar Ventures, a more traditional venture capital firm, is looking to diversify its portfolio into the seemingly chaotic yet inspiring NFT landscape. According to him, the goal is broader than merely selling NFTs; it encompasses educating visitors about this fascinating new medium:
- Interactive Workshops: Visitors can partake in workshops designed to demystify NFTs and how they operate within the Web3 framework.
- Engaging Displays: You’re not just viewing art; you’re engaging with it through thoughtfully curated pieces, some accompanied by hands-on learning experiences.
Innovative Features: The Tree of Life
The gallery also introduced the concept of membership tokens inspired by its unique Tree of Life art installation. This innovative approach integrates NFTs into the gallery’s framework, offering visitors a chance to become part of the artwork itself.
Carluccci’s Belief in the NFT Revolution
In a world where NFT market prices may be on a roller coaster ride, Carlucci firmly believes in the underpinning technology. Unlike the soulless cash grabs we sometimes see, the NFTs at 37xDubai come with a creative heart:
“For the artists that we work with and we handpick, the incentive is creative. They want to make something creative while using blockchain technology for authentication.”
This isn’t just about commercialization; it’s a testament to the thriving artist community that aims to use technology as a tool for creative expression.
Workshops and Events: A Hub for Learning
37xDubai will also be a hub for various events and workshops, with backing from prominent players in the blockchain space, including advisers from Binance NFT and Binance Charity. This opens up a treasure trove of opportunities for attendees to learn about the future of art in a rapidly digitizing world.
