Private Project

Luz Cósmica

The artwork is a generative exploration that visualizes the journey of Arecibo's message through the emptiness of space, the speculation about other species and their communication based on light. Each visual element represents a potential "answer" from the stars, a lost echo reverberating in the vastness. The work uses artificial intelligence to imagine alien species that in turn are transformed into visual and sound patterns, creating an abstract language that speculates what interstellar communication might be like. The work proposes that each star in the M13 cluster can be seen as a potential observer that receives our message through light and transforms it into a response that we will never hear, inviting viewers to reflect on cosmic loneliness and the mystery of interstellar contact.

Director Statement

My artwork explores the relationship of the body with virtuality through various explorations challenging perceptions of reality. Using technologies my aim is to push artistic boundaries and create immersive experiences. Since 2019, the digitization of my work has led to innovative projects that merge different media. My journey blends dance training with explorations in digital art, encompassing topics such as improvisation, transhumanism, synthetic art, transmedia narratives and generative dance. I continue to evolve, guided by a commitment to authentic expression of movement and ongoing experimentation with technology.
