Nourathar Studio is a creative lab dedicated to the development of experiences that explore and question the full potential of emerging media and technologies. The studio was founded in 2013 by Caen Botto (Buenos Aires, 1970) - inter-media artist, developer and musician - together with Marta Rupérez (Madrid 1977) - art historian and cultural manager. 

The duo's work emerges from the hybrid space between artistic creation and technological development. Their art occurs in liminal zone between the physical and the virtual, between the analogue and the digital. Research by Nourathar articulates contemporary history and archaeology; it materializes in projects that implement augmented reality, immersive environments, physical interaction, optical illusionism and other hi & lo-tech mirages. 

The creative use of technologies has been at the core of the work of the founders of Nourathar Studio for over 20 years and includes: real-time audiovisual systems, motion capture, robotics and tele-presence.  Their work has been presented at art exhibitions, festivals and events such as Sonar (.es), Observatori (.es), FACT (.uk), FILE (.br), MAMBA (.ar). 

The members of Nourathar have also designed and built experiences for a wide variety of other contexts: from the production of audio-visual shows and participative marketing actions to the technical direction and curating of new media art exhibitions. Artworks by Nourathar feature in private collections in Greece, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Canada, US, Mexico.

The name Nourathar, is a tribute to one of the pioneers of the art of light: Mary Elizabeth Hallock-Greenewalt (Beirut 1871– Philadelphia 1951) who adapted the Arabic expressions nour (light) and attar (essence of), to describe the visual music she created.
