Rodrigo Garrido will talk to Miguel del Moral from CutOut Fest about the intellectual, emotional and creative process for the production of Sentient Sculptures.
In this talk, artist Rodrigo Garrido will talk about the intellectual, emotional and creative process for the production of Sentient Sculptures, as well as the characteristics of each of the sculptures, their respective purposes, feelings and life cycles. It will also address some implications of his production in relation to the tools created and used by human beings in the 21st century and how this means innovation within the development of the art world, leading to the possibility of thinking about a new renaissance.
Rodrigo Garrido's work challenges the boundaries between the biological and the algorithmic through its Sentient Sculptures. These works, which intrinsically merge artificial intelligence, digital manufacturing and computer simulations, function as systems that explore and decode the essence of the human species, our minds, and the social constructs that define us.
His vision is profoundly influenced by his previous experience as an entrepreneur, allowing him to dissect the technical conditions and structures of human invention with a critical and multidisciplinary perspective. Under this premise, his sculptures not only propose an avant-garde aesthetic, but they act as vehicles to understand our future potentials.
In recent years, this proposal has gained great relevance in the art scene, most notably his solo exhibition at the Laboratorio de Arte Alameda (2024), as well as his passage through Patio by Zona Maco, Clavo Seis and Mutek MX festival. His global recognition includes the nomination for the prestigious Lumen Prize 2023 and the artist of the week badge for BBA Prize 2024 in Germany, consolidating him as one of the strongest voices at the intersection between technology and humanity.
