His name's Josh Katzenmeyer.
But most people in the metaverse know him as @luxpris. He is a multidisciplinary artist and musician harnessing technology and code to design otherworldly multimedia experiences.
He has been minting NFTs since early 2020, and has exhibited in North America, Europe, and Asia alongside digital displays in the global VR realms connecting them all. He's drawn to the questions unearthed when collaborating with machines and is most interested in exploring the way technology encourages or reduces human autonomy; the way algorithms inspire not only the creation, marketing, and monetization of artworks, but how they affect the future of cultural production and consumption.
