Vortex: Artistic and Curatorial Practices for Wind

Víctor Mazón Gardoqui, MS, is a PhD candidate in the University of the Basque Country, researcher, senior educator, and professional working with open hardware and experimental circuit design. He coordinates seminars and educational formats in the domain of perception, device studies, and experimental sensory applications. His artistic work exposes the unheard and unseen, addressing the inaccessible and prompting audiences to experience vulnerability and awareness by the imposition of power through technology. The work materializes in three main fields: actions or site-specific performances through experimental processes, exhibitions as consequences of previous actions, and collaborative works through seminars to form a communal dialogue.

Jussi Parikka is professor of digital aesthetics and culture at Aarhus University as well as visiting professor at the University of Southampton, Winchester School of Art. He also works as curator, including the recent Motores del Clima / Climate Engines exhibition (2023 – 24, with Daphne Dragona). His most recent books include Operational Images (2023) and Living Surfaces: Images, Plants, and Environments of Media (2024, coauthored with Abelardo Gil-Fournier).
