Spectral Objects

Maria Nava is a Mexican multimedia artist. Her work explores the transition and blending of the physical and digital realm by creating installation spaces that allow the spectator to become part of the storyline, modify it and even challenge it. The combination of innovative materials and new ways of making are employed across each one of these spaces through costume design, soft robotics, AI, 3D printing, CNC machining and Digital. Temporality, decay, disruption and corruption of the body are recurrent themes within Maria’s stories and worlds. She highlights the importance of the sense of TOUCH and how it is related to memory, directly influencing who we are and who we become.
