Projects

“VK procedure (Tokyo Version)” consists in a system that uses techniques of face recognition, psychology and applied mathematics to measure the tension between honne (feeling) and tatemae (expression), in a group of Japanese salary man people.

Inspired by the cosmist ideas about citizenship after mastering the cosmic space (Svyatogor, 1922), the work analyses the contradictions in the final state of social egalitarianism.

LiA (Language for Interface Analysis) is an implementation of the zen master Sengai Gibon’s representation of the Universe as a context-free Language, for predicting the future of humanity.

Inspired by the lifecycle of the Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish, the project proposes an evolutionary path to immortality as a result of the integration with a bionic exoskeleton.

Using as reference the Japanese academic system of evaluation, the project consists in a concept of a generic interface. It would allow emotion-based interaction with dynamic spaces and responsive environments.

"The unveiled city" consists in an interactive videoinstallation and data visualization system. With the interaction it is unveiled the most recurrent motives in thousands of images from Instagram, associated with Tokyo by hashtags. A text in a way of caption shows the description of the images, which is used as a criterion by which it is selected the images to unveils.

"Prolongation to the infinite" consists in large-scale parametric wood sculptures where I interpret the Cuban norms of construction related with the calculation of temporal wood structures (NC 0053-179, 1988), inspiring by the Japanese tradition of wooden framework systems.

Personalized portraits obtained with the average of the characteristics face expressions of people from all over the world I met during my stay as a Research Student in Japan.

The artwork consists in an interactive installation where we present AgarTG Teams (Agar.io MOD) in controlled spaces of socialization, to reproduce in lower scale the informal networks of videogames that join in a clandestine way thousands of people in Cuba.

The Project consists in a computational procedure that allows measuring the tension between the social ideal behavior, and the expression of the citizen will.

The images of pictures in the National Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba (Cuban Art) database are interpreted as a bar of color lines organized according to different criteria of chromatic variation (red, blue or green recurrence, tint, brightness and saturation). Afterwards the software process each tone and project them into the space as musical notes, after the library SoundCipher version: Beta release 10 for Processing

The Project pretends showing the pictures as they are understood by the digital technology: as generic data. That way it is deleted the entropy, what is to say every cultural value associated to the image.

The work is an interpretation of the Borgian idea about a nesting of infinite universes.
