Bio
|
Short Biography and CV (2010) Julio Obelleiro is an artist and engineer focused on the investigation of new ways to create engaging interactions between audience and artworks. He creates interactive installations that initiate shifts and illusions in perception, as viewers are made aware of their relation with an artwork. His work has also revolved around the creation of interactive large-scale public projections where the collaborative creation of audiovisual experiences by the audience is addressed. His interdisciplinary work has also been developed within the art group Play The Magic, and his work has been shown internationally in festivals and venues such as: as Ars Electronica (Austria), FILE Festival (Brazil), 10YearsAfter v4.0_OuterSpace Festival (Seoul), The White Night (Madrid), Looptopia (Chicago), Urban Art Festival (Bucharest), Mirador-Matadero Biennale (Madrid) among others. He has been recipient of the Fulbright Grant, the University Fellowship (University of Illinois at Chicago), or the Torres Quevedo Fellowship (Spanish Ministry of Education and Science) among others. |
