About

Federico Joselevich Puiggrós is an Argentine technological artist, programmer, lecturer and researcher. He designs and develops interactive systems, installations, cultural platforms and artificial intelligence prototypes for projects situated between art, technology, education and research.

Practice

His work takes place at the intersection of electronic art, interactive systems, artificial intelligence, creative programming and cultural platforms. Originally trained in programming, he uses code not only as a technical tool but as an expressive medium: a way to construct behaviors, relationships, environments and artificial organisms.

His practice includes interactive installations, generative systems, robotic devices, technology-based stage works, physical interfaces, web platforms and projects that explore perception, autonomy, memory and the relationships between bodies, machines and environments.

Background

He has worked both individually and collectively. He co-founded and participated in art and technology collectives such as area3, with which he contributed to projects for institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona and developments connected to the MIT-IaaC Media House Project.

His works and developments have been presented in contexts such as Ars Electronica, the Venice Biennale, Sónar, ArtFutura, OFFF, Onedotzero, La Noche de los Museos, and several cultural, scientific and university-based spaces.

Selected works

Selected works include Los Aparatos, an ecology of autonomous devices; Los sonidos de la empatía / El Hidrórgano, an installation-instrument articulating water and sound; La Máquina del Tiempo, a permanent installation created for the Centro Cultural de la Ciencia; R-Lar, a work on body, screen and digital self-discipline; Microbioespecularis, an installation exploring dry artificial life forms and the relationships between biological organisms and computational systems; and Colorario, an installation in which the spoken voice is transcribed, interpreted by an AI system and returned as a chromatic triad.

Recognition

His work has received recognition including First Prize at the Kosice Latin American Biennial, the MediaLab Prize from the Centro Cultural de España in Buenos Aires, the EcoArteUrbano Prize, distinctions from Premios Teatro del Mundo, recognition from ATINA and support from the National Arts Fund in Argentina, among others.

Teaching and research

Alongside his artistic production, he has an extensive academic practice. He teaches at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes and the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, directs research and development projects in art and technology, and is currently completing a PhD in Science and Technology at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, focused on predictive systems, artificial intelligence and performative arts.

Consulting and development

In parallel, he works as a consultant and developer in creative technology projects: interactive systems, artificial intelligence prototypes, cultural web platforms, digital archives, tools for artists and institutions, and technical solutions for projects situated between art, education, research and technological development.
