Lucas Gutierrez is an Argentine digital artist and industrial designer who lives in Berlin. He was born in 1985 in Belén, in the province of Catamarca, where he had his first solo exhibitions in 2004 and 2005. He graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in 2012, with a thesis on the equipment and techniques of the potter's wheel used in ceramics education.
Much of his work is made for screens and projection: real-time visuals, audiovisual performances, video art and fulldome films for planetarium domes; XYZ CRAFT premiered in Prague in 2025. He gives lectures and workshops on digital culture and has taught at the Berlin University of the Arts and at the Weißensee Academy of Art. He has had solo exhibitions in Buenos Aires, Warsaw, Berlin and Shenzhen, and in 2024 his work was part of Animism, a group exhibition by Adorno at Alcova in Milan.
His jacquard tapestries, begun in 2023, are designed in Berlin, woven in Italy from acetate, viscose and polyester, and assembled in Berlin. They mark a milestone in his exploration of unconventional materials and non-digital techniques. Each tapestry is part of an edition of eight per design and comes with a stamped and dated certificate.
HEADS is a series of sculptures in ceramic and in bronze; the bronze is handmade in Berlin. The same form, cast in solid silver by lost wax, is the pendant 'Tiny HEADS'. In 2026, during a residency at Fisga in Porto, he began I Will… Bordados with Isilda Parente, a master embroiderer in Viana do Castelo: linen pieces embroidered by hand with sentences about digital culture.
On spazio: the seven tapestries of the jacquard series, the bronze 'HEADS' and the silver pendant 'Tiny HEADS'.
