My work explores the formation of the individuals and their identity, mediated in
a ubiquitous way by new communication technologies and emphasizing minority
identity groups, whom settle in virtual spaces understood as sovereign spaces, in
constant modification. I aspire to point out these new places as possibilities for
encounters, affections and affirmations.
In my artistic research, I have undergone crafted body coding and digitization to
account for a current situation of identity, enriched through Augmented Reality; a
notion understood as all kinds of extensions and digital / technological relationships
with the body, identity, time and space.
Within the same field, I am interested in the growth of the collection and complexity
of digital information in the internet as a “Data-forming” process, which I define
as a situation, where the necessary conditions exist for an artificial intelligence to
be able to create it’s own version of world (as manipulation of language) from the
network.My interests are circumscribed in speculative fiction and reflection on the
appropriation of technology, so I specialize in the use of three-dimensional modeling,
3D printing, augmented reality and virtual reality experiences, digitally generated
video, programming, device interventions, technology and multimedia facilities.
Currently, I have a growing interest in exploring a new conception of body and identity
through microbiota, biology, mechanisms, A.I. and devices.
