JUAN DAVID FIGUEROA
︎WORKS

I am a Colombian new media artist and designer focused on a multidisciplinary understanding of the arts that derives from experimentation, curiosity, and a deep desire to land in unexplored places. Collaboration and cooperation with musicians and other visual artists are always key elements in my artistic process.

My passion for visualizing sonic experiences has led me to experiment with technology and produce new visual aesthetics. They may take the form of a video clip, an installation, or a VR piece. I establish dialogues between physical spaces and virtual environments in order to find poetic relationships between computation and physicality, to explore how technology is shaping the connection between humans and nature in our contemporary experience.
