Functional Block Diagrams

A synthesis of sound and movement; colourful characters dance and move in repetitive patterns to percussive and melodic elements. A combination of motion and music that is hypnotic and beautiful. At first it feels structured and orderly but as more elements are added becomes quixotically expressive.

Geologics

An exploration of phenomena through the glyphic constitutions of geography. Pictorializing the growths and formations of earthly "bodies" (land, life, technology, language) using humanity's most elemental symbols of communication. A voice, satellite-like in its disembodiment, articulates its stream of consciousness or lack thereof; its monologue meanders and overlaps, leaving viewers space to interpret the visual material of the colorful runic terrain. The ontological map is thus instantiated.

Phantasia

X-ray images were invented in 1895, the same year in which the Lumière brothers presented their respective invention in what today is considered to be the first cinema screening. Thus, both cinema and radiography fall within the scopic regime inaugurated by modernity. The use of X-rays on two sculptures from the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum generates images that reveal certain elements of them that would otherwise be invisible to our eyes. These images, despite being generally created for technical or scientific purposes, seem to produce a certain form of 'photogénie': they lend the radiographed objects a new appearance that lies somewhere between the material and the ethereal, endowing them with a vaporous and spectral quality. It is not by chance that physics and phantasmagoria share the term 'spectrum' in their vocabulary.
