Carlos Sáez
Carlos Sáez, 1988 València
Carlos Sáez is a multidisciplinary artist specialized in digital media. His main object of study is the relationship between human beings and technology, which he tends to develop in his work by raising the very aesthetics of machinery and its programming. In his "Hardware Fetish" line, the artist pays tribute to the abandoned technological device, especially the screen. In this field he creates pieces halfway between the machine and the relic in which he honors the negative space left by the "non-fluid" of information. One of the concepts most present in his work is that of "morphological freedom" proposed in the philosophy of extropy. For this he uses different media such as illustration, video, or 3D, with which he captures the desire of human beings to modify their natural appearance in virtual environments. In 2012 Carlos created Cloaque.org, a curatorial web project based on the concept of "exquisite corpse" in which digital artists from around the world participate collaboratively.
Carlos Sáez has exhibited his work at The Whitney Museum of American Art (NY), The Museum of Modern Art (NY), MAMCO (Geneva), Museum of the Moving Image (NY), Untitled Art Fair (Miami), National Portrait Gallery (London), The Armory Show (NY), Transfer Gallery (NY), La Térmica (Málaga), Las Naves (Valencia) and Espai Tactel (Valencia).
