Natalia Barragán Nieto. 1994. Gemini. Bogota, Colombia. Languages: SP_ENG_FR. Spirituality and esoterism. Tea and bubbles. Plants. Where things come from. Electronic music. Intuitively rational. Rationally intuitive. Communications designer, aesthete. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in the alignment of specific factors at a specific moment: synchronicity. I believe that life is the result of a constant decision-making process, which is done both consciously and unconsciously. It is an eternal quest in order to achieve equilibrium and equanimity. I believe in what I create, consisting of a dialog between the analog and the digital, between reality and fiction, between images, sounds and words.

artist, engineer, interactive designer. Desires to focus his artwork on the creation of new media art to examine the over-development of science and technology. Each kind of creative direction expressed a different idea and required the use of different technologies. In terms of integrating technologies, the development of interactive software played a very important role in his development. and to manage the interactive devices, augmented reality, and motion sensors. By combining different artistic forms, he built his creative skills and abilities. He continuously challenged himself to create works that form a dialogue between his personal experiences and new media art. works form the assumption that though the performing arts, interactive art, and visual art are separate disciplines, their combination can give rise to a new form of technology-based performing arts. This also includes a self dialogue that results in a clash between the inner self and external factors.

Rationally intuitive. Communications designer, aesthete. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in the alignment of specific factors at a specific moment: synchronicity. I believe that life is the result of a constant decision-making process, which is done both consciously and unconsciously. It is an eternal quest in order to achieve equilibrium and equanimity. I believe in what I create, consisting of a dialog between the analog and the digital, between reality and fiction, between images, sounds and words.

artist, engineer, interactive designer. Desires to focus his artwork on the creation of new media art to examine the over-development of science and technology. Each kind of creative direction expressed a different idea and required the use of different technologies. In terms of integrating technologies, the development of interactive software played a very important role in his development. and to manage the interactive devices, augmented reality, and motion sensors. By combining different artistic forms, he built his creative skills and abilities. He continuously challenged himself to create works that form a dialogue between his personal experiences and new media art. works form the assumption that though the performing arts, interactive art, and visual art are separate disciplines, their combination can give rise to a new form of technology-based performing arts. This also includes a self dialogue that results in a clash between the inner self and external factors.

Rationally intuitive. Communications designer, aesthete. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in the alignment of specific factors at a specific moment: synchronicity. I believe that life is the result of a constant decision-making process, which is done both consciously and unconsciously. It is an eternal quest in order to achieve equilibrium and equanimity. I believe in what I create, consisting of a dialog between the analog and the digital, between reality and fiction, between images, sounds and words.

artist, engineer, interactive designer. Desires to focus his artwork on the creation of new media art to examine the over-development of science and technology. Each kind of creative direction expressed a different idea and required the use of different technologies. In terms of integrating technologies, the development of interactive software played a very important role in his development. and to manage the interactive devices, augmented reality, and motion sensors. By combining different artistic forms, he built his creative skills and abilities. He continuously challenged himself to create works that form a dialogue between his personal experiences and new media art. works form the assumption that though the performing arts, interactive art, and visual art are separate disciplines, their combination can give rise to a new form of technology-based performing arts. This also includes a self dialogue that results in a clash between the inner self and external factors.

I accidentally entered the interactive industry. With each project and work as an oppartunity. I saw the laughter of my big friends and children, sa that I realized the nature of 'interaction" and also found the joy of persisting in the fiald of interaction. I like to draw closer to people's relationship through the discussion, learing, sharing and teaching of "interactive tachnolagy".

artist, engineer, interactive designer. Desires to focus his artwork on the creation of new media art to examine the over-development of science and technology. Each kind of creative direction expressed a different idea and required the use of different technologies. In terms of integrating technologies, the development of interactive software played a very important role in his development. and to manage the interactive devices, augmented reality, and motion sensors. By combining different artistic forms, he built his creative skills and abilities. He continuously challenged himself to create works that form a dialogue between his personal experiences and new media art. works form the assumption that though the performing arts, interactive art, and visual art are separate disciplines, their combination can give rise to a new form of technology-based performing arts. This also includes a self dialogue that results in a clash between the inner self and external factors.
