THE UNFUNDED

Projects, Grants and Residencies that I did not get.

A growing list of deceptions 🤷‍♂️

  1.  I will not design a lamp system with AI generated textures
  2.  I will not build an VR experience about COVID data literacy and misinformation
  3.  I will not set up screens around town to display digital art
  4.  I will not 3D scan dragons
  5.  I will not confront yourself with the ephemerality of contemporary visual media.
  6.  I will not distill the Lowest Common [visual] Denominator of beasts and fire figures.
  7.  I will not try to visualise the search space of the LHC 
  8.  I will not explore the creation of visual poems in AR for an exhibition space
  9.  I will not build a microbe-friendly spaces in the city
  10. I will not use augmented viewfinders to showcase how stupid mass-tourism is
  11. I will not use live-coding to explore the generation and manipulation of moiré patters in the 3D space.
  12. I will not explore the territory that is intentionally underserved by ISP's and create hyper-localised large scale AR sculptures
  13. I will not produce thousands of cut-out magnets extracted from common AI datasets
  14. I will not build a camera capable of photographing misleading alternate versions of reality
  15. I will not make a calm mesmerising contemplative interactive piece about scales, domains, hosts, guests, symbiosis and parasitism
... but, I will never stop learning and doing what I like. 

TXTR·LAB / AI generated textures for a unique customizable lighting product / An automated inhouse pattern designer: endless, updatable, trend-teachable.


HELLOPALEO / About the ephemerality of contemporary visual media. / An installation to mirror reality as cave paintings.


more·moire / live coding + sculptural projection


AAD / Bringing digital art creations to the daily urban environment: markets, bus stops, libraries…

An open hardware display that features local digital artists.


RIDE19 / A tangible experience of COVID data literacy and misinformation

A rideable 1:1 scale rollercoaster that follows the path of the covid cases to date.
Built as an interactive digital artwork in a 3D environment.


BÈST#IA / “Visions hipotètiques del bestiari festiu popular.”

Distilling the Lowest Common [visual] Denominator of beasts and fire figures used in popular culture festivities in BCN.


TANGIBLE SEARCH / Making tangible the beauty and vastness of the Large Hadron Collider search-space


3DscanBestiari.png

FOCd’APROP / capturing 3D data and releasing it as digital public commons for its use as assets for the creative industries.


RAU / Exploring private public spaces.
Creating volumetric visual poems around the city to be experienced as augmented photography tours.


micro-illa / A prototype to invite microbiota back into urban design by building artefacts for the citizens to interact and get to know the fellow non-human inhabitants of our built environment. 


[00] / An interactive artefact shaped as a classic viewfinders that showcases the best side of sustainable tourism in the worst pain-points of the “sun and sea” experience journey.


more-moiré / A volumetric installation of live-generated patterns projected to a structure to create moiré effects. 
Using live-coding to explore the generation and manipulation of moiré patters in the 3D space. (real or virtual).


Synthetic Vocabulary / An interactive installation made with extracted imagery from common AI datasets. A huge collection of cut-out magnets placed in a metallic wall for visitors to rearrange con construct meaning. A staging of the simplification and homogenisation of visual culture spit by algorithms.


DeepCam / A physical Photo Camera hyper-powered with AI vision and generative algorithms capable of photographing misleading alternate versions of reality. The project is a commentary on Computational Photography, Synthetic Media and Media Forensics, and how much AI intervention and manipulation is currently happening without the user's knowledge in the process of taking a photo. 


MODEL / A calm mesmerising contemplative artwork about scales, domains, hosts, guests, symbiosis and parasitism.

medium: interactive 3D render
web-app prototype 
  • mouse wheel/pinch= zoom
  • click/tap + drag / arrow keys = rotate
