Para empezar, recordemos que el metaverso o metauniverso, es un concepto que hace parte del lenguaje digital; describe una experiencia inmersiva y multisensorial con relación al uso de diversos dispositivos y desarrollos tecnológicos en internet. Este concepto también fusiona experiencias que combinan la web 2.0, la realidad aumentada, la tecnología de tercera dimensión y la realidad virtual. El metaverso de...
¡Hola a todos y a todas! Después de casi un año de silencio, volvemos al ruedo. Oscar Otu y una servidora (Paula Volàtil) hemos sido papi y mami respectivamente (cada uno con su pareja ) y claro, entre la pandemia y esto de formar una familia, hemos abandonado un poquito la web y las redes sociales. Mil disculpas. Poco a...
This is part II of the Processing oral history. Read part I here. As Processing became one of the primary environments for creative coding in the early aughts, a community started developing around it. People were eager to use the tool, and a smaller subset of them wanted to help develop the infrastructure required to maintain the growing piece of...
This is part I of the Processing oral history. Part II will publish next week. Computers and design have long been intertwined. This relationship dates back to the 1960s, when computational pioneers used code to create novel forms.

“For thousands of years, earth’s resources have been extracted by bodies, most of whom were not free,” reads one of the opening pages of The Extreme Self. “But now, it’s our bodies, and our selves, being extracted.

With Covid-19 bringing most of the world into the online space as a powerful mode of communication and interaction,...

According to the invitation, the gathering was part of “Facebook’s Women...
In an ocean of Squarespace sites and Behance portfolios, it can be easy to forget that there are limitless ways to represent your work. Not all of them require custom coding, or even fancy images. In fact, some of the most compelling portfolios we’ve seen use what you could call “off-the-rack” solutions that designers have taken advantage of to bring...
When the pandemic hit and museums and galleries closed their doors, many were forced to quickly adapt their programming to keep speaking with their audiences despite the enforced physical separation. You don’t need me to tell you these results have been a mixed bag: from insightful lectures to slideshows masquerading as exhibitions; poor connections to racist zoom-bombers; poorly-attended livestreams to...
