Brick is a work of art that invites reflection on the housing crisis in Barcelona. Made of coloured bricks, the sculpture symbolises the disintegration of the social fabric because of excessive rent increases.
A participative experience invites audience members to move the bricks according to some algorithmically generated instructions, thereby simulating the forced displacement of residents. Each movement contributes to the dispersion of the work, reflecting how thousands of families are forced to sever their social ties and abandon their traditional neighbourhoods, which severely impacts their quality of life.
Born in Barcelona in 1987, he is a generative artist who creates art through coding. His practice focuses on creating generative, deterministic algorithms that produce unique visuals each time they are executed.
Having graduated as an architect at ETSAB (2012), he seeks to combine his digital practice with sculpture made from materials typically used in construction. Interaction with and participation by the audience are also constant features in the formalisation of his work, whether in digital or hybrid pieces.
