Artwork 1 Details :
The video consists of an experimental abstract animation, divided into a series of sequences made by creative coding software, each sequence is edited on different scenes of the city of London. The animation is made up of basic shapes like ellipses and rectangles, which form different patterns on the screen. All of them together form a minimalist and poetic visual composition. Each composition uses the same color pattern, black for the stroke and yellow for the shapes, making them regular and symmetrical. Also, each composition is backed by an audio file. The movement of forms follows the rhythms of sound.persona non grata
Artwork 2 Details :
Persona non grata takes as a reference to a contemporary person who, in one way or another, and always, in my opinion, stands out for their anti-social actions, for attacking people's freedom, people who do not respect human rights, or who attack minorities. The video consists of forming the name of the chosen ones with flies, from the beginning it has been conceived with the idea of being part of a series. The first chapter is dedicated to the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, for his unjustified and violent invasion of Ukraine.human behavior
Artwork 3 Details :
We live in the information age. Daily we receive countless news that exceeds our ability to discern all the information. We are overwhelmed by happenings and events that we are unable to process. Television plays a decisive role in this oversaturation. Sitting in front of the TV turns us into passive subjects bombarded by news, looking for the most morbid event to capture our attention. Human Behavior is an exercise in reflection and representation of this information overload. The work metaphorically shows us an individual oversaturated, alienated, and tired of television schizophrenia. The background of the video is made up of a glitch, coming from the old cathode televisions, and the audio is a collage of superimposed news broadcasts.Artist/ Collective Bio:
