- I am a Chilean-Canadian polymath (intermedia artist, neuroscientist, educator, engineer, graphic designer) who explores how scientific enquiry and its products have shaped, and continue to shape, society. Through artistic research, metaphor, and materiality, I integrate these notions to understand, critique, and challenge the relationship between humans and science, as well as the artificial separation from nature driven by technology as a byproduct of science. Using materials such as glass, paper, thread, sensors, wood, and laboratory machinery, he advocates for a reconnection with the tangible and a balanced view of science, understanding its place without disrespecting other ways of knowing. My current artistic practice can be summarize in three areas: 1) Otherness through the use and study of Infrared Radiation and detection as a new media for sciart and fine arts, as well as the mix of sensory technology, interaction, 3D printing, and materiality, 2) Steganography using genetic code, paper, embroidery, and glass beads, and 3) Jargon, exploring the history of use and abuse, benefits and disadvantages, using stained glass, painting, and paper.
