About Me
Hey!
I’m Cristian Reynaga,
and here you can know more about me and what I do.
With a background in music and 3D design, I've been involved in cultural projects since 2005, focusing on digital art and immersive design. With over 15 years of experience in digital art and digital culture, I've curated exhibitions and conducted research on generative art. As the founder and director of +CODE Cultura Digital in Buenos Aires, I've organized festivals, workshops, and exhibitions featuring both local and international artists. Additionally, I've collaborated with local public and private institutions on specific projects in digital art, virtual reality, and web3.
