identidades de papel vs. la identidad de un papel

{a paper born as an artwork, an identity shaped and expressed freely} vs. {how many paper identities do we play disguised, unrevealed, hidden behind the fear of not being?}

the dissociation of creation from its execution, or the continuous flow of culture towards a universal truth, or the meaning of life, or nothing at all

With the latest technology we can progressively dissociate many concepts we had experienced only as unified, atomic existences. It's time now to think about a creation and the act of executing it into existence. And lots more.

non-quantum superpositions of human/machine emotional states

non-quantum superpositions of human/machine emotional states is a series of works in which I explore the effects of our growing relationships with newly emerging machinic entities.

ópera posthumana de gramática sintética (o el enésimo nuevo orden), i

This is a work I did for the Refraction x Tezos @ South Beach Miami during Art Week Miami 2023. The word opera means "work" in Italian and was first used in the context of musical creation and theatrical performance in the 17th century in Italy. An opera combines

sho(r)ts: the extiction of idea & execution

when both ideas and execution are commoditized thanks to advances in technology, how do we adapt our current processes to make sense of our activities?

light & shadow

above/beneath all & all above/beneath

above/beneath all & all above/beneath is a work about the human condition, exploring emotion as a fundamental layer and collective experience as possibly one of the defining human characteristics.

identity

palabras y todo lo demás

a little tribute to chatting, conversations, sharing stories, fears, celebrations, debate and everything else that contributes to human progress or expresses human life in all its diversity.

art

every like kills

there's too much longing for external acceptance and too little work on building oneself and spending time to know your own ground. Which kills what would potentially be the really important stuff - in art, innovation and elsewhere.

light & shadow

vida y sombra y luz y muerte

an allegory on my Mediterranean sea, on light, shadow, papermaking & the tragedy of troubled migrants.

identity

centrifugal

a work about the construction of self-identity in the context of our surrounding, an ever spinning collection of entities and experiences around the axis that we try to build and maintain.

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (wake up, the voice calls us)

Digital services that are too easy and tailored liquidate difference; the constant flow of products liquidates our cycles. A provocation to rethink our rythms, the way we build products and the way we consume them. This is NOT a piece about filter bubbles (oh, please!). It goes well beyond that.

A public response to The Guardian on the impact and challenges of NFTs

The majority of NFTs are traded in blockchains that don't have a significant environmental impact. And they represent a true opportunity for all to achieve a better redistribution of wealth and prosperity.

sho(r)ts: process vs. goals

Process vs. goals (execution vs. idea) is a non-debate. Both are important. You don't need to read the article, this is enough. But you can, it's very short (it's a shot!).

Recreating a recreation

Recreating what we do with advanced technology using less sophisticated means may help us understand how the technological advances actually expand our total range of capabilities.
