B.Sc.
in
Physical
Chemistry
from
Concordia
University
in
Montréal,
Canada. Electronic

public
participation,
by
perverting
technologies
such
as
robotics,
computerized
surveillance
or
telematic
networks.
Inspired
by
phantasmagoria,
carnival,
and
animatronics,
his
light
and
shadow
works
are
"antimonuments
for
alien
agency".
His large-scale interactive installations have been commissioned for events such as the Millennium Celebrations in Mexico City (1999), the Cultural Capital of Europe in Rotterdam (2001), the UN World Summit of Cities in Lyon (2003), the opening of the YCAM Center in Japan (2003), the Expansion of the European Union in Dublin (2004), the memorial for the Tlatelolco Student Massacre in Mexico City (2008), the Winter Olympics in Vancouver (2010), and the pre-opening exhibition of the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi (2015). Recently the subject of solo exhibitions at the SFMOMA, the MUAC Museum in Mexico City, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, he was the first artist to officially represent Mexico at the Venice Biennale with a solo exhibition at Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel in 2007. He has also shown at Art Biennials and Triennials in Havana, Istanbul, Kochi, Liverpool, Montréal, Moscow, New Orleans, Seville, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Sydney. Collections holding his work include the MoMA in New York, Tate in London, AGO in Toronto, CIFO in Miami, Jumex in Mexico City, DAROS in Zurich, MUAC in Mexico City, MAG in Manchester, MUSAC in Leon, MONA in Hobart, ZKM in Karlsruhe, and SAM in Singapore, among others. He has received two BAFTA British Academy Awards for Interactive Art, a Golden Nica at Ars Electronica in Austria, "Artist of the year" Rave Award from Wired Magazine, a Rockefeller fellowship, the Trophée des Lumières in Lyon, an International Bauhaus Award in Dessau, and the Governor General's Award in Canada. He will be joined in this project by his studio team at Antimodular Research in Montreal.
