About Jason Bruges
His artworks are site-specific, ‘sculptural barometers’ that tap into the emotional tapestry of a community or place by translating live feedback into living, breathing, spatial interventions. A master of light and kinetic art, Jason combines his architectural knowledge with a high-tech, mixed-media palette to explore spectacle, time-based artworks and dynamic immersive experiences. His installations are moments of theatre that transform in response to their surroundings and connect people with their environments. In 2002, Jason set up Jason Bruges Studio where he works with a talented team of architects, engineers, computational designers, creative technologists and project managers to deliver a diverse array of art projects world-wide. The team blend architecture with interaction design, intervening in the urban environment to weave a sense of magic into the fabric of a place. To develop the work, the Studio relies on design by making and prototyping to support innovation. This experimental approach has positioned the studio at the cutting-edge of media art and architecture. Paving the way for a new genre of cross-disciplinary creative practices, Jason Bruges Studio combines technology and storytelling to evolve bespoke artworks that surprise, delight and stir the imagination.
About Carlota Nunez-Barranco Vallejo
Born at the outskirts of Madrid, Carlota is an architect currently working as a 3D Artist & Visualiser at Jason Bruges Studio in London. She designs and visualises interactive, data-driven, site-specific artworks in the urban environment. Having graduated from an architectural film unit, Carlota explores the relationship between time and space, and the way people navigate it, with a passion for storytelling. She is particularly interested in different narrative techniques that centre around characters. Her research explored the emancipation of women in Spain through an intergenerational analysis of cooking. She has experimented with a variety of methods, such as site-specific mapping of film characters to deduce camera movements, and designing a story projected onto a physical set moved by a robotic arm. Carlota’s recent work includes directing and animating an introductory film for a new programme, published multimedia drawings and film editing for an award-winning film Counterproductive (2021) amongst others.
