The multidisciplinary artist Santiago Tavera is interested in translational movement. This is what inspired the work "Translation Spaces" available in a website, a book and an installation. Santiago explores the concepts of dislocation and migration through the construction of interactive and immersive experiences that place the body in a state of translation between physical and virtual realms. He designs models called digital architectural environments, to simulate the state of a displaced body in a constant process of being and different places, digital platforms and public places. Santiago recently completed an MFA (Intermediate) from Concordia University, where he currently works as a project coordinator and creative director for the Elastic Spaces art lab.
