An Overview of the Artists and Their Works:
Quirarte + Ornelas
A Mexican artist duo whose practice lies within the infinite layers of materiality, in “Shadow Cast – Structure 8” Quirarte + Ornelas draw upon the structural elements of their physical geometric sculptures to bring novel environments to life.
Manuel Fois
Based on his ever-evolving aesthetics in which recordings and glitches converge into tangible shapes, for “Element_040fT3G78Am0n1F” Manuel processes an outdoor recorded MP3 track algorithmically to create captivating visuals.Alejandro Javaloyas
A Spanish visual artist, Alejandro’s work explores a broad spectrum that ranges from post-abstraction & ultra-photography, displayed here in “A solas con la edad, mientras tú duermes” as different elements coexist while exploring the themes of love, mortality and intimacy of the human body.
Luca

An Italian anarch-abstract artist devoted to bringing form and color to any surface, Festinalente combines acrylic, spray, oil pastel and marker on canvas within “io sono quel che sono” to convey the ethos of a piece that has been in the making for months.
