Dan Pelegrin

I am part of a generation that experienced the emergence of video games (arcade) as a child, that experimented with both the analog camera and the popularization of the digital camera, that went from tiping datylography to computer typing, that learned how to operate a computer with MS-DOS and later learned Windows, that did the final paper of the graduation course, in 1998, on   Cyberlaw  etc. In this path, of cyber life, I started to make my first artistic works using an IBM PC in 1996, but it was in the early 2000s that I produced my first exhibitions mixing technology and artistic ancestry.

It is a catalogue that presents deeply meditative responses to both nature and the supernatural, as well as human intervention in the natural world. By definition art is the opposite of nature. Art is contrived, mediated, manip
