AR-NFT Fest Lugano: Emanuele Dascanio - Metagate

AR-NFT FEST LUGANO:EMANUELE DASCANIO

A few days after the end of the NFT Fest in Lugano, we want to start wrapping things up. At the festival, as Metagate, we participated as a sponsor creating experiences in Augmented Reality on Oltre la Realtà.

Today, however, we would not like to dwell on the ecosystem we have created of 17 AR experiences. Today we would like to particularly thank a person whom we enjoy pointing out as the "culprit" of the beginning of the Metagate adventure and who has encouraged and supported us from the very start. We are naturally talking about Emanuele Dascanio, a well-known artist both for his physical and digital works. But here we do not dwell on his undisputed artistic abilities; instead, we want to linger on his ability to always reinvent himself and to involve others in his positivity.

Emanuele has been able multiple times in his career to take paths considered by many to be difficult and risky. How many would have dedicated months and years of their lives to create a few (now very rare) hyper-realistic works of art? How many have had the courage to study, understand, and adopt the technology NFT How new support for their art? (especially how many did it before the NFT bubble?)

Finally.. how many have had the courage to bet on a new technology like augmented reality? This last step is the only one where Emanuele has not yet had the opportunity to prove he is right, but it is here that as Metagate We have decided to participate in this bet of yours and we hope to win it together.

We were very pleased to host Emanuele in one of our augmented reality experiences on Oltre la Realtà in Lugano on the occasion of theNFT Fest 2023. For those who are interested, you can find it alongside one of his works observing the water from the lakeside in front of the city's Casino. On the blockchain, this is already history.
