Carlos Luna James practice explores the intersection of ancestral mythology, computational systems, and speculative cultural narratives. Through his philosophical framework, Phygital Archaeology — a methodology that understands physical and digital realities as interdependent cultural systems — he investigates how ancestral cosmologies might evolve within contemporary technological infrastructures.
This framework proposes that physical and digital realities are not separate ontologies, but co-constitutive cultural systems. Technology is approached not as spectacle or replacement, but as an interface through which symbolic structures can be extended, reconfigured, and reactivated.
His central project, K’in, operates as a non-linear immersive ecosystem integrating sculpture, real-time simulation engines, artificial intelligence, and fabrication to construct hybrid narrative environments. Methodologically, Luna James translates mythological structures and cosmological geometries into interactive systems where audiences engage identity, memory, and empathy as active forces.
Rather than reconstructing historical narratives, his work imagines and builds speculative cultural trajectories of cultural evolution, positioning art and technology as interdependent infrastructure for possible worlds.
