In 2000, equipped with portable computers, cameras and video cameras, we decided to begin a common project called NOMADAS (2000-2010), beging this frame of reference of all our projects, working, moreover, as a way of combining art and life.
This journey, transgressing the boundaries and prejudices, feeds our way of seeing and understanding the present world, mixing cultures and experiences, smells and flavours. Every city is our city.
The aim of this trip in the course of ten years is to know all the countries by means of exhibitions, lectures and projects carried out along with transnational groups, establishing thus collaboration bonds with artists and institutions, cultural agents and the different societies.
The human being: origin of life, creation and destruction, power and war, conflicts and gender violence, globalization and changes of social paradigms and his continuous reformulation as a free person in such a changeable world, where science and new technologies change those concepts we build our identity on. These are some issues we think about in order to reflect them in our works and projects using video art installations, virtual reality, net-art, photographs, sculpture, computer graphics...
During these years we have carried out exhibitions and installations in different events:
The Fair of Contemporary Art, ARCO, Madrid; Art Futura, the VideoArts Festivals of Bangkok and Hong Kong; The Observatori of Arts in the City of Science and Arts of Valencia; Art Fair of Beijing, CIGE, Share, Torino, Italy, Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria; Light Festival, Seoul, Korea ...
