Archetype Location 
3D modelling of specific locations (museums and gelleries) for virtual reality device, 2016


Visitors for certain places experience first a real space and then a slightly modified version of it in 3D. Based on Rem Koolhaas writing about generic spaces and how they repeat themselves, this artwork chages the perception of exhibition spaces.




Spreading dimensions 
Sound installation, 2015


Hidden microphones are set outside the museum. In Mexico city, most of cultural spaces are located in bustling places and sorrounded by people that never actually enters the art space. Inside, wall speakers are available to listen in places with a reference to the outside microphone, that force audience to “play” in the space to be able to guess what they are listening. While the museum turns itself into the artwork, the behavior protocols are broken, as well as the idea of wall. Outside-inside spaces are reconstructed in the mind of the audience through imagination.




A Pragmatic Digital Art Manifesto


This manifesto is a practical experiment exploring the expressive capabilities of digital media through statements that can only be verifiable in their own environment. In this way, the artist seeks to clarify for herself the limits of the tool she has chosen, while opening a pragmatic discussion based on facts about what may or may not be digital art. Therefore it is flexible and changing artwork.




Datanimbus
 Virtual sculpture, visible only through mobile devices, 2014


The idea of the Cloud as an abstract space in which an impressive amount of data converges in order to solve specific problems, in other words, collective intelligence, is the main theme of this artwork. What does a space mean for us? Datanimbus is a converging point for virtual and real space, as well as thoughts, impressions and opinions about that space.




540 000 000
Interactive sculpture that detects the presence of the audience, 2014


While someone is standing in front of it, motors move a laser to draw eyes randomly in a heat sensitive paper. The time of life for this artwork to be watched is 540 000 000 tenths of second. When the counter reaches 0, the arwork becomes the automatic made drawing and motors won’t move anymore. The essence of any artwork is to be watched, this one exists to simulate to watch te audience. Understanding watching as something wearing, the sculpture sets the alarm for it to get bored: it has watched enough of the audience and left so many eyes behind.
