Carolina Kleine Samson’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We recently had the chance to connect with Carolina Kleine Samson and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Carolina, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What battle are you avoiding?
I avoid polarization, taking sides. I prefer to stand in between, to understand every point of view. The battle of the I above all is one I resist; instead, I choose to prioritize the we.

I’m not fighting to control the nature of things; I believe in moving with it. My battles are internal, once I face and overcome them, I return what I’ve learned to society.

I believe we should climb onto creations and projects rather than battles. After overcoming the inner ones, I create works that open outward and call for inclusion.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Carolina Kleine Samson, sometimes an artist, sometimes a cultural producer, photographer, designer, or community manager — but always striving to be a person above all else.

I’ve created several projects related to art and digital art. In 2018, I founded the first digital art festival in Miami, born from the idea of establishing the Miami Digital Art Institute (IDAM). Today, I continue working toward that original vision: to make digital expression visible and accessible through diverse proposals and collaborations.

What I find most fascinating about the projects I start is that they always emerge from broad, ambitious ideas, often seemingly impossible to realize with the resources around me. My first step to bringing them to life is usually creating an Instagram profile, a symbolic gesture that gives them public existence and connects them with a community.

Despite my long journey through digital landscapes, the experience of creating something that transcends my own physical limits reminds me that we can bring to life whatever we imagine. When you build a structure — a mental building — it gradually fills with ideas, people, and events until it becomes something larger than yourself.

I’m currently focused on @infinite.qrcodes, a nomadic platform of QR code installations that showcases artworks from artists around the world. From the outside, each installation may appear similar, but its content is always different — a reflection of the diversity within. The utopian goal is to include as many artists as possible within these living digital spaces.

I’m also part of Loop Art Critique, an educational art project in the metaverse that I deeply love. There, I have my own studio space, where I develop and exhibit digital projects.

In addition, I direct @arriba.org, an art gallery in Patagonia, Argentina, dedicated to creating bridges between artists from the “end of the world” and the rest of the world. I am also one of the creative directors of Casatres, a cultural space in Neuquén, Patagonia, that combines art, music, and community experiences in a single living environment.

Finally, I’m developing Pixel Waste, a digital recycling platform where people donate their deleted files to create new artworks, raising awareness about the ecological and emotional impact of deletion in our online lives.

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
That moment when an idea leaves the realm of the intangible and takes shape, assuming forms and directions one could never anticipate, reveals a force that feels almost mystical. It is a moment of power and magic that I deeply value, as it reminds me of the transformative capacity of thought and language, and of the infinite possibility of building new realities.

Understanding that, as a woman, I can create life within my own body was to recognize an immense power — one that has been historically silenced and minimized.
From this realization emerges the project Museum of Creation, which seeks to recover and illuminate representations of women giving birth, a scene that, despite its profound symbolic power, has been largely relegated in the history of art.

If violence has been glorified as an aesthetic engine, creation has paradoxically remained in the shadows. My work aims to reverse that narrative: to foreground the act of creating, of giving life, of transforming matter and thought. Because to gestate, a work, an idea, a human being, is a gesture that transcends language and embodies the deepest power of all: the power to exist, and to make existence possible.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Message to a Carolina from 18 Years Ago

Trust your imagination. You are beautiful, powerful, and creative. Hold on to your intuitions; visualize, plan, and project the place you want to reach. Question dominant narratives; think and reflect. Guide your heart with reason. Don’t try to fight every battle; choose instead to create worlds.

Create a reality in which your community wants to live and feels at home.

Your practice, built on dreams, method, and courage, will become the language through which you transform reality.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I am committed to creating meaningful connections between people. It’s something I deeply enjoy and pour my energy and passion into, because I believe that from those encounters emerge great projects and collaborations. For me, to connect is to begin.

I’m also dedicated to spreading digital art, reflecting on our online habits, and giving visibility to underrepresented fields, such as the portrayal of women giving birth.

At this stage of my life, I strive for every project to have a positive impact on the community. More and more, my focus moves in that direction. I believe in humanity and continue to invest my faith in it.

My commitment is, and will always be, to people and their expressions, creating spaces where they feel inspired to inhabit and participate. It’s a daily practice, one to which I give my best, convinced that authentic connections are the starting point for transforming our world.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What will you regret not doing? 
What I would never do is give up on creation.

I would regret not becoming a mother. I feel it’s something deeply meaningful, not only for me but for humanity as a whole. Motherhood and the creation of a family are ongoing projects, if God wills.

To activate that power of creation and care for another being, a power I perceive as essential to me as a woman, is a conscious decision to inhabit existence through the act of nurturing.
