My work draws on a reflection on the formation of the individual and their identity, mediated in a ubiquitous way by new communication technologies and emphasizing minority identity groups, which settle in virtual spaces 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 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 within 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 intervention. technology and multimedia facilities.
