Is there a story that was never told? As it unfolds in our minds, it’s already too late, and the tale is told. An obsessive paradox, a desire to grasp the fleeting, a returning myth of Echo or Orpheus in venturing into the ineffable at the limits of human understanding, and a good problem to express. But what a journey it might be! And what compass should be used to steer towards that horizon? The great explorers of our times will be the ones who reveal the worlds of the untold, and I believe that this must be done by navigating the flow of thoughts. As this fleeting medium fuels all of us without consent or control, interfacing the human brain with computers has become both a fascinating field of research and a productive vector of expression, touching on the universal capacity of intelligent beings to make sense of the world. For everything that is the case. By reappraising the symbolic power of architectural elements as conduits for information, I aim to channel digital communication into staged sceneries. By building interactions between the human mind and computers, I am emulating our cognitive capacities to make sense of the unsettling, the abstract, the thing that does not have a word for yet, and extract sculptures, still and moving images as products of this conversation. By developing generative content, I create information vectors modulated by this interaction and flowing within mixed-media installations that tell the hopeful story of uncertainty and navigation. Each work generally evolves in series, just as a book unfolds in chapters, hoping to never reach the beginning of an epilogue. To keep dwelling in the great myths that shaped our creative minds to endlessly try to get beyond. Within and throughout the streams of my thoughts. Day and night.
