In an era where blockchain and AI are transforming creative industries, Italian artist Marco Guglielmi—known as Reimmortal—stands at the forefront of this revolution. His large-scale sonic/visual installations blend immersive sound design with digital innovations, creating experiences that challenge traditional art boundaries. From earning the “Best International Exhibitor” at Red Dot Miami in 2018 to launching NFT series through his “HellHeaven Lab,” Guglielmi’s work exemplifies how technology can amplify artistic expression and drive economic value in the creator economy.

Guglielmi’s journey into tech-art began in Italy, where he gained acclaim at prestigious events like the Venice Biennale and Florence Biennale. In 2017, he received the Installation Art prize at the XI Florence Biennale and the Patronage of CID-UNESCO in Paris for his harmonic visions of “vibrating sonic bodies.” These early successes laid the groundwork for his U.S. expansion, where he opened a showroom at 2200 Biscayne Blvd in Miami in 2019. As Artistic Director of 11 [HellHeaven] Art Gallery (11HH), a contemporary space with locations in Rome and Miami, Guglielmi has curated exhibitions that integrate blockchain and digital tools, turning art into interactive, monetizable assets.

Award-Winning Innovations at Miami Art Week

During the peak of Miami Art Week in 2018-2019, Guglielmi’s curatorial prowess shone brightly. Leading 11HH, he secured the “Best International Exhibitor” award at Red Dot Miami, organized by Redwood Art Group. This honor, selected from hundreds of global exhibitors, recognized his “Walls” series—including pieces like ‘P.O.V.’—which fused sound design with immersive installations. As gallery founder Stefania Minutaglio noted in a support letter, “The award was the direct consequence of the ambitious curatorial project that Marco designed… from the choice of artists to the spatial, conceptual, and multimedia structure.”

This tech-infused approach extended to SCOPE Miami Beach in 2019, where Guglielmi presented large-scale works as booth centerpieces. His integration of multimedia elements, such as generative sound and digital projections, aligns with emerging trends in AR/VR art, attracting collectors interested in blockchain-verified ownership. According to industry data from Deloitte’s Art & Finance Report, the NFT market peaked at $25 billion in 2021, and artists like Guglielmi are pioneering its sustainable evolution.

HellHeaven Lab: Blockchain and Sound as Creative Catalysts

At the heart of Guglielmi’s tech contributions is “HellHeaven Lab,” an experimental program he directs at 11HH. Here, artists re-engage with sound and music as generative elements, often incorporating blockchain for NFT and token-based series. Minutaglio highlights how Guglielmi’s guidance has helped artists “discover the U.S. art market and launch new bodies of work such as NFT and blockchain-based series.” This lab serves as a judging platform, where Guglielmi evaluates portfolios and selects talent—mirroring roles in tech incubators like Y Combinator, but for visual arts.

Case in point: Collaborations with firms like AirIllusion, which repurposes aviation parts into functional art (e.g., “LOVE SEAT”), demonstrate Guglielmi’s hands-on approach to sustainable tech-art. His “Mega Gong” installation, a conceptual sonic body, uses advanced sound engineering to create harmonic vibrations, blending physics with digital interfaces for immersive experiences.

Residency at Florida Grand Opera: Tech-Enhanced Performances

Guglielmi’s influence extends to performing arts as Resident Artist at Florida Grand Opera (FGO), a distinction granted solely to him for his multidisciplinary expertise. FGO General Manager Maria Todaro praises his “visionary approach and technical mastery” in works like “Star Gate Black Hole,” which bridge opera, sculpture, and sound design. Through FGO’s “Opera Reimagined” initiative, Guglielmi develops multimedia performances that incorporate AI-driven soundscapes and blockchain for ticketing/collectibles, fostering collaborations that boost cultural tourism.

Todaro emphasizes the broader impact: “Marco’s projects generate opportunities for American artists, technicians, and students… translating into measurable economic benefits—from increased attendance to cross-sector innovation in creative technologies.” This aligns with U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data, where the arts contribute over $1 trillion annually to GDP, with tech integrations amplifying growth.

Wings and Roots: A Tech-Driven Intergenerational Project

Guglielmi’s latest venture, “Wings and Roots,” recognized as the first Italian project under the New European Bauhaus, exemplifies tech-art sustainability. Set in Rome’s Città Verde district, it uses recycled materials for sculptures and mosaics, with digital documentation (videos, social media, online archives) to extend its reach. The project’s emphasis on circular economy principles—repurposing ceramics via blockchain-tracked provenance—offers a model for tech-enabled urban innovation, engaging generations through apps and immersive tools.

The Future of Art-Tech Synergy

As blockchain evolves beyond crypto hype, artists like Guglielmi are redefining value creation. His memberships in organizations like the Concilio Europeo dell’Arte and United Nations Association of the USA underscore his global stature. For tech entrepreneurs and investors, his work highlights untapped opportunities in the $65 billion digital art market (per Statista).

U.S. Senate panel to hold crypto tax policy hearing on October 1

U.S. Senate panel to hold crypto tax policy hearing on October 1

The Senate Banking Committee will hold a public hearing on October 1 to go after one of the most confusing messes in U.S. finance right now:- how crypto gets taxed. The committee confirmed the date in a notice first reported by Eleanor Terrett, and witnesses lined up include Jason Somensatto, Policy Director at Coin Center; Andrea S. Kramer, founding member of ASKramer Law; Lawrence Zlatkin, Vice President of Taxation at Coinbase; and Annette Nellen, Chair of the Digital Asset Taxation Working Group under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This hearing is meant to address a problem that’s pissed off crypto users for years, which is why every small crypto transaction, even a few dollars, triggers a tax headache. The Senate is being pushed to finally look at de minimis exemptions, which would let people use crypto for daily stuff (like grabbing a coffee) without reporting every damn thing to the IRS. Trump administration backs small crypto tax relief Cryptopolitan reported back in July that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had said that the Trump administration still wants to push through the de minimis exemption in upcoming laws. “The president did signal his support for de minimis exemption for crypto and the administration continues to be in support of that,” Karoline said. She explained that right now, using crypto for basic purchases is too complicated because of tax rules, but a change could make everyday payments smoother. “We are definitely receptive to it to make crypto payments easier and more efficient for those who seek to use crypto as simple as buying a cup of coffee — of course, right now, that cannot happen, but with the de minimis exemption perhaps it could in the future.” Karoline also revealed that President Trump plans to host a signing ceremony for the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin-focused bill expected to pass soon. That bill is part of his administration’s broader goal to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world.” The Senate has already tried and failed to deal with this issue before. In 2020, two Democratic lawmakers proposed the Virtual Currency Tax Fairness Act, which aimed to ignore tax on crypto gains below $200. It didn’t even make it to a vote. A similar version in 2022 also died on the floor. Then came a broader bill in 2025 called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which covered everything from taxes to border control. Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Republican from Wyoming, tried to get a crypto exemption added in for gains under $300, but that proposal got scrapped before the final bill passed. President Trump signed it into law on July 4 without the crypto language attached. Right now, the IRS says every single crypto transaction must be reported, even if there’s no gain or the amount is tiny. If you spend $5 of bitcoin, that’s a taxable event. The idea behind the de minimis exemption is to cut through that nonsense and give users room to breathe. But it hasn’t been easy. Lawmakers face real obstacles. First, the federal government depends on tax income. If it suddenly lets millions of small crypto transactions go untaxed, that means less money coming in. And there’s no sign yet of how they’ll offset that shortfall. Even with strong voices like Cynthia and Jason in the room, the Senate still hasn’t landed on a solution. October 1 might give them a chance to do something useful. Or it might be another meeting where everyone talks and nothing happens. Get seen where it counts.
