The Lightness of Being
Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha — Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, enlightenment, svaha. This photographic series explores the threshold between selfhood and dissolution, presence and absence. Nude, wrapped in transparent plastic, the body becomes both visible and veiled — suspended between exposure and erasure. The plastic membrane becomes a metaphorical chrysalis, a second skin that hints at suffocation and rebirth. Inspired by transcendental meditation (TM), this work investigates altered psycho-physiological states as liminal territories. Just as the Third Law of Thermodynamics implies the slowing of molecular motion toward absolute zero, TM evokes a subtle stillness — a…
Read moreTechnological engagement against nature for survival #enjambredigital
Inspired by reading Vilém Flusser, I created this video art piece. The technological engagement against nature for survival. The inevitability of death and the cycle of renewal. Human culture is absurd, a failed attempts to attain immortality by preserving information after its creator’s death in the form of artifacts that eventually crumble and fade. “technology & culture” are products of a “natural” neuronal circuits in human brains.

Read moreWhitening Objects
The form is so strong that even if I remove their colors they still have an identity. Change in context produced no change in accuracy, suggesting that access to memory for object color is independent of shape and texture information. Color seems to be an independently accessible feature of memory representation rather than an integral part of a prototypic representation. When things do not have a use anymore I just paint them white like if by removing their color they became invisible, but the objects are creating their own stories anyways. For more information read this study “Siple, P. &…

Cylon
A cyborg (“cybernetic organism”) is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline. In popular culture, some cyborgs may be represented as visibly mechanical (e.g., the Cybermen in the Doctor Who franchise or The Borg from Star Trek or Darth Vader from Star Wars) or as almost indistinguishable from humans (e.g., the “Human” Cylons from the re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica, etc.).

Inspirada en los textos de “Las ciudades invisibles” de Italo Calvino, es un verdadero alegato anti-consumista premonitorio del devenir. “……. las escamas de su pasado se sueldan en una coraza que no se puede quitar; renovándose cada día, la ciudad se conserva toda a sí misma en la única forma definitiva: la de los desperdicios de ayer que se amontonan sobre los desperdicios de anteayer y de todos sus días y años y lustros.” Leonia, Buenos Aires, Spring 2016.
