PORTFOLIO

Nourathar Studio is a creative technologies lab, initiated by Caen Botto and Marta Rupérez. Their work explores the impact of technology on our perception, as well as the subjective nature of reality. 

Artworks by Nourathar convey their disenchantment with the simplification of reality prompted by the technification of all its features: from the commercialization of augmented social spaces, to the digitization of our dreams, or the role of social networks in the construction of our inter-subjectivity. 

In this context, their work with mixed reality, at the encounter of the physical and the virtual, operates as an analogy of the moment in which we live, where we witness the seamless fusion between both spheres. In their devices, installations and performances, they defend technology as a tool to appreciate the complexity, the infinite nuances, and the interconnections that make possible the poem of existence. They suggest a poetic relationship with technology that encourages inner silence, as an alternative to the technological cacophony that surrounds and distracts us.

SELECTED EXHIBITIONS

Recent exhibitions and projects include installations (sensitive spaces) as well as audio-visual devices (hypnosophical devices) that combine digital media, physical interaction and mixed reality with analogue resources and obsolete technologies. Through these projects they imagine another version of what technology could have been in the past, and what it could become in the future.
