I’m an electronic-based artist. My work, often large scale, is made up of interactive installations in public space and usually deploys new technologies and physical interfaces. Using robotics, projections, sound, internet and mobile phones, sensors and other devices, I make examples of kinetic sculpture, responsive environments, video installations and photography which require the viewer to reconsider their conceptions of art, networks, language, code and meaning through human interactions and production of the ephemeral.

Soy un artista electrónico, mi obra generalmente de gran escala, se conforma por instalaciones interactivas en espacios públicos, normalmente usando nuevas tecnologías e interfaces físicas. Por medio de la robótica, proyecciones, sonido, Internet y teléfonos móviles, sensores y otros dispositivos, creo ejemplos de escultura cinética, entornos interactivos, instalaciones de vídeo y fotografía que obligan a reconsiderar el concepto unidireccional del arte. Exploro y experimento con lo análogo y digital, con conceptos como el de red, lengua, código y significado a través de la presencia humana y de lo efímero.
