| Luis Negrón van Grieken - Media Artist & Live Cinema

Statement

My work explores the intersections of sound, music, and conceptual art, using these elements to create immersive experiences that engage and challenge audiences. Sound and musical structures are central to my practice, guiding the rhythm and flow of my live cinema, audiovisual installations, and code-based graphics. I also delve into themes of archives, knowledge, and literature, using post-photographic strategies and found footage to craft narratives rich in context and meaning.

I focus on the interplay between analog and digital techniques, creating spaces where audiences can interact with the work on multiple levels. By incorporating real-time data and found materials, my projects become dynamic, evolving artworks that invite viewers to explore the complexities of our interconnected world. Through this exploration, I aim to spark curiosity and inspire new ways of thinking about art and its potential to bridge disciplines and cultures.
