He participated in Medialab Madrid with the work “The Lowlands” within the exhibition “Digital Transit” (February 8 to April 2, 2006). One of the four exhibitions that made up the Digital Culture environment in 2006. This great exhibition proposed a journey through the interconnections between art, science, technology and society. Transiting through permeable spaces that foster productive interferences between diverse imaginaries, concepts and practices. As a whole, a transdisciplinary view was proposed through the works of more than 60 artists, understood as a way of interpretation, exploration and participation in the complex web of relationships that articulates contemporary culture. Digital Transit thus constituted a communication space that connected current computer and telecommunications technologies with visual, sound and performing arts, architecture and urban planning, science, education, citizen participation and the environment. Digital Transit described an environment woven together by processes and projects that take place at different scales and in different contexts: whether in a bacterial culture, a human body, an urban fabric, a telecommunications network or an ecosystem. Thus, a systemic and global vision was proposed that circulated from genetics to urban planning or from computing to education, passing through the new digital communities that are articulated on the Internet. The exhibition brought together some of the most outstanding projects of digital culture, from the Austrian and international sphere, awarded in recent years at the prestigious international Ars Electronica festival in Linz, Austria.
