Multimedia artist. Graduate in Information Sciences and Fine Arts (1991) and PhD in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country (2001). His research focuses on the interaction between art and science, taking new technologies as a tool, and also explores artificial environments and virtual reality. His work has been presented at Cibervisión, Madrid; Interactive Frictions, Los Angeles; Worldart, Aalborg, Denmark; Imagine, Monaco; Siggraph, Los Angeles; or Art+com, Berlin. Her first virtual environment was developed at ART+COM, Berlin, in 1992. In that work, she pioneered the use of fractal structures in virtual reality in consultation with mathematicians Heinz-Otto Peitgen and Hartmut Jürgens. In Microworlds, sirens and argonauts enters an interactive narrative through attractors and sounds as navigation clues. MIMESIS, is a virtual environment that delves into interactive narratives, increasing user participation through a very intuitive and metaphorical interface inspired by MIMETISM, a phenomenon of co-evolution of Nature.
Participates in Medialab Madrid with the interactive virtual reality installation Reflecting JCC Brain Research II (2007). This work presents a reflection on the prejudices that influence our vision of mental illness and the person who suffers from it, as well as on medical-pharmacological action for the normalization of human behavior and the solution of social conflicts. In JCC the user explores the mind of an individual whose reasoning is disturbed by emotions. Armed with a map, the JCC brain, the user establishes connections between their perceptions, thoughts and memories, and the outside world. Explore your mind and your consciousness, your feelings. At the same time, he investigates the functioning of his brain at different levels, some more scientific, others more fantastic.
