About
Federico Joselevich Puiggrós is an Argentine technological artist, programmer, teacher and researcher. His work takes place at the intersection of electronic art, interactive systems, artificial intelligence, creative coding, body, performance, sound and cultural platforms.
Practice
Originally trained in programming, he uses code not only as a technical tool but also as an expressive medium: a way of constructing behaviors, relations, environments and artificial organisms.
His practice includes interactive installations, generative systems, robotic devices, stage works with technology, physical interfaces, web platforms and projects that explore perception, autonomy, memory and the relations between bodies, machines and environments.
Background
He has worked on both individual and collective projects. He co-founded and took part in art and technology collectives such as area3, with which he participated in developments for institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona and in projects connected to the Media House Project by MIT-IaaC.
His works, developments and collaborations have been presented in contexts such as Ars Electronica, the Venice Biennale, Sónar, ArtFutura, OFFF, Onedotzero, La Noche de los Museos and different cultural, scientific and university spaces.
Selected works and projects
Selected works include Los Aparatos, an ecology of autonomous devices developed with Julia Vallejo Puszkin; Los sonidos de la empatía / El Hidrórgano, an installation-instrument that articulates water and sound; R-Lar, a work on body, screen and digital self-discipline; Microbioespecularis, an installation that explores forms of dry artificial life and relations between biological organisms and computational systems; and Colorario, an installation in which the voice is transcribed, interpreted by an AI system and returned as a chromatic triad.
He also coordinated La Máquina del Tiempo, an institutional project developed for the Centro Cultural de la Ciencia through the Faculty of Arts of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, together with a team of students and former students.
Recognition
His work has received recognitions such as the First Prize of the Latin American Kosice Biennial, the MediaLab Award from the Centro Cultural de España in Buenos Aires, the EcoArteUrbano Award, distinctions from Premios Teatro del Mundo, recognitions from ATINA, support from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes and the Exhibition Award of the Fondo Nacional de las Artes Art and Technology Competition, among others.
Teaching and research
Alongside his artistic production, he has an extensive academic practice. He teaches at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes and at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, directs research and development projects in art and technology, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Science and Technology at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, focusing on predictive systems, artificial intelligence and performative arts.
His technical experience also extends to consulting and development projects for artists, cultural institutions, educational teams and research groups.
