Electronic artist, develops large-scale interactive installations

His work in kinetic
sculpture, responsive environments, video installation and photography
has been shown in three dozen countries, including Biennials in Venice
(Italy), Istanbul (Turkey), Havana (Cuba), Sydney (Australia), Liverpool
(UK), Shanghai (China), Seoul (Korea), Seville (Spain) and others.
His work is in private and public contemporary art collections such
as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Jumex collection in Mexico,
the Daros Foundation in Zürich and the Tate Collection in London.
At the Prix Ars Electronica in Austria, his pieces have received a
Golden Nica, a distinction and two honourable mentions. He also won
two BAFTA British Academy Awards for Interactive Art in London, a
distinction at the SFMOMA Webby Awards in San Francisco, "Artist/
performer of the year" at Wired Magazine's Rave Awards, a Rockefeller
fellowship, the Trophée des Lumières in Lyon and an
