Would you qualify your practice as transhumanist? If yes, could you give me your definition of this concept?

My artistic practice is based on ideas and concepts derived from the relationship between human beings and technology. These concepts provide me fuel, so to say, to develop my exercise. My research in this area leads to personal artistic exercises; there is no big development or dissemination like someone specialised in the sector would do. I like my position as a voyeur fascinated by something that happens in our environment, and I satisfy my interest by learning from truly qualified and pioneering thinkers. Of course, I elaborate my own opinions about it, but I like my spectator condition. Perhaps it makes more sense to ask ourselves if we are already a transhumanist society or if we have always been that. Transhumanism is usually referred to as the interest in transforming the human condition through the development of technologies that improve its capabilities in physical or intellectual form. Can we only refer to the latest digital technologies, or can we also include the telephone as a tool that amplifies the range of our voice? The gods harshly punished Prometheus for stealing and delivering fire to humans, his creation. It is a perfect example to represent the insatiable need of the human being to become a creator, something reserved until now for the gods. The term can be understood as a philosophy, ideology, a period in time if you need to, but also as something intrinsic to the human condition.  Every technological advance is an evolution (for better or worse) of the human species, and we have always been creating and improving ourselves.

If you could develop one part of your body through technology, what would you change, and what possibility would it bring to you?

First, I would go for a monkey tail till I decide what else to do. Just for aesthetic purposes, I find tails very attractive. Besides this, I might be more interested in establishing communication with animals or nature in general.

Where do you find your inspiration? I notice that you are mainly using recycling material to create news pieces. Is there also something to recycle theoretically to understand your work?

My interest in machines, their meaning, and their aesthetic comes from a place inside me too deep to explain. Admiring and collecting and creating pieces that respond to this imaginary is sort of a fetish I always had and never questioned myself, so I can’t really answer that.
