My inquiry follows the binomial of art and technology, focusing on how computation influences creativity. My interests span aesthetics, semiotics, and the cultural impact of innovation. My doctoral thesis, «The Design of Modernity. From Information to Automatic Generation,» examines the unexplored connections between the Ulm School of Design and the Computing Center of Madrid, two institutions that anticipated the transformative power of computational techniques in creative processes.

At that time, while Germany adopted a purely theoretical approach, Spain soon became a surprising hub for pioneering projects enabled by IBM. Here, the different seminars involved algorithmic principles to investigate visual arts. This transversality, embracing generative grammar and logical structures, opened pristine possibilities for artistic expression.

Beyond its historical significance, the methodologies developed during this period adhere to contemporary challenges. From early experiments with abstraction to advancements like pixelation, these breakthroughs underscore the potential of digital approaches to achieve visionary practices. I strive to connect these insights with current concerns. By documenting and analyzing these contributions, I seek to inspire new ways of thinking about this interesting convergence of disciplines. This space is a repository of my reflections and a dedication to advancing this dialogue.
