Néstor Lizalde, 1979 Zaragoza (Spain). His work explores the possibilities raised in the art world through the so-called new media. With an academic background: Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master in Visual Arts and Multimedia, Advanced Design and Electronics Studies, this strong technical background artist generates a dialogue between technological experimentation and artistic tradition, exploring languages arising from this match. Lizalde makes a practical research based on the creation of new media and audiovisual forms through programming, electronic design, manufacturing and optical digital imaging systems. Although it becomes clear, this strong presence workshop processes linked to new technologies, his work focuses on creating projects where technical experimentation turns into visual and narrative devices that enable building an imaginary halfway between science fiction and surrealism, an immersive universe as disturbing as hypnotic.
