Felix Luque Sánchez (born 1976 in Oviedo, Spain, lives and works in Brussels, Belgium) is an artist whose work explores how humans conceive their relationship with technology and provides spaces for reflection on current issues such as the development of artificial intelligence and automatism. Using electronic and digital systems of representation, as well as mechatronic sculptures, generative sound scores, live data feeds and algorithmic processes, he creates narratives in which fiction blends with reality, suggesting possible scenarios of a near future and confronting the viewer with her fears and expectations about what machines can do.
Edited by Pau Waelder and Emmanuel Cuisinier.
