Selected work

The Three Body Solution turns the simulated gravitational motion of three bodies into musical control messages (MIDI). Distances, velocities, phases and crossings between three bodies determine pitch, when notes begin, how strongly they are played and how long they last across three configurable musical voices.

Computational Cadavre Exquis constructs an exquisite corpse from found sentences. Starting with a chosen sentence, the software locates a source containing it, appends the next sentence, and then searches for that new sentence in a different source. Each assembled passage appears continuous while moving between distinct authored texts.

Controlled Permeability is a moving-image artwork developed through generative processes. In 2026 it was adapted for architectural display systems in Hangzhou and Shanghai, requiring the work to be re-authored across unusually wide, segmented and corner-based screen geometries.

Memoriae Urbis is an ongoing artwork and research project developed through moving image and generative image systems. Its 2026 work treats the city as a field in which memory is assembled through fragments, repetitions, absences and transformations rather than retrieved as a stable image of the past.

Musifold is a browser-based tool for exploring how the same musical structures appear on different instrument layouts. It presents iPad, iPhone and Ableton Push-style layouts alongside scales, modes, chords, arpeggios, different arrangements of chord tones and jazz phrases.

The National Average is a generative artwork and research system about the politics of aggregation. Rather than using an average as an apparently neutral result, it exposes the operations through which an average is produced: what is included, how things are weighted, how values are normalised, and in what representational space they are compared.

This Shader Does Not Exist is a browser artwork that presents one animated image at a time. Each image is produced by a shader, a small program that runs on the graphics processor. The visitor may remain with it, pause its movement, relinquish it through another, or take the code so that its executable form can continue elsewhere.

LA MASA is a short film about a fictional Mexican Space Agency, nicknamed “La MASA”, that in 1960 was able to send an astronaut to a remote planet using a combination of traditional Mesoamerican magic and experimental technology.

Abandoned Future (2025) consists of six large-format digital prints of fictional abandoned factories. Generated images of crumbling concrete, rusting steel and overgrown vegetation draw on Uruguay’s industrial architecture, placing the promise of modernisation beside the material appearance of its abandonment.

In 1983 I was six years old and everything was quite terrible.

DOOR and BOX are two artworks of an ongoing series of works aiming to research and expose some of the social and political impact of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and automation. These two projects use a computer vision system that predicts the interactor’s ethnicity, and change their behaviour depending on this prediction: the door is only unlocked if its user is white; the gumball machine delivers free candy only if its user is white.

A few little tests and exercises. Most of these were created as examples for my students of the course Mathematics and Art (SM1801) at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.

Memoirs of the Blind is an interactive installation consisting of a screen showing a black-and-white picture of a face with its eyes closed. This image at first remains still, however, when the interactor blinks, the installation detects it and takes a photo at the exact time of the blinking. Once the new face is obtained, it is processed (cropped, desaturated, and adjusted) and then it substitutes the displayed face.

Trace Pavilion is the third in a series of bamboo pavilions designed and built by architecture students at University of Saint Joseph in Macau.

We were asked to create an opening video and backdrops for the TEDx show in Montevideo.

Lituania Lituania was an audiovisual show and collective. Combining live music, live visuals, projection mapping, and, in one case, a modified version of Celebra, we pursued the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk: a work bringing its different artistic forms into a single whole.

Walrus is an interactive mirror that substitutes a participant’s face with previously recorded faces in similar positions and expressions. The installation was developed between 2011 and 2016; wwwalrus, its browser version, continues the project from 2026.

Nibia is an interactive installation that questions the relationship between society and its recent past, through the recontextualisation of a particular image.

YARMI began as an augmented-reality musical instrument in which tracked physical objects could be used to construct and manipulate musical relationships. It was documented at NIME 2009 and revisited in A New Iteration of YARMI.

In 2009 I had the honour of being a Visiting Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Music, where I collaborated with Prof. Roger Dannenberg by providing visuals for his piece Critical Point.

Ribbons is a real-time visual instrument created for maximising the expressiveness of the performer within its aesthetic paradigm. Its design questions the basic assumption of a flat rectangle as image space by presenting a virtual three-dimensional space where the footage can be projected and deconstructed, thus adding a new dimension of expressiveness orthogonal to traditional narrative.

Puzzling is an interactive artwork developed with Ernesto Rodríguez. Scenes from films are divided into fragments and mapped onto wooden blocks tagged with visual tracking markers. A camera tracks the blocks, while a projection shows the moving images superimposed on them.
