Solana Lanchares, also known as Esteparia in the digital world, is a multimedia artist whose practice focuses on the use of programming as a resource for plastic experimentation. With a degree in Art History and as a professor, she has developed a career that combines traditional analog media and digital technology to create generative visuals, video art and interactive websites.
Her work delves into live coding, a performative practice where real-time programming becomes a possibility for artistic expression. Through collaborations with other artists, she has taken her live coding and VJ projects to international stages, presenting works in festivals and exhibitions such as the PASA Festival (Korea), the Madrid Urban Festival of Digital Art (Spain), the Moving Image Festival (Argentina), and the Pleamar Festival in Mar del Plata (Argentina).
This exhibition presents a selection of her web art and generative video works. Immersive experiences that invite interaction with the interface to discover new forms of perception and visual understanding.
Esteparia's work generates dialogue between different disciplines. Her interdisciplinary and collaborative approach reflects a vision of art as a meeting space, where code is her main medium of experimentation.
Interactive web art. This project was created with the premise that each visitor can generate their own generative artwork, as the structure of lines responds to the course of navigation around the site, modifying both the direction and color of the lines. These lines intersect, blend, transform, disappear, and reappear.
Web art. Visual Study on the implementation of primitive geometries and 3D models in conjunction with the development of visuals in Hydra. The work explores the aesthetics of digital glitches through spherical shapes and patterns that move and change unpredictably, creating a sense of chaos. This web project has been adapted to other media to be used in various visual sets.
Interactive web art. Developed in the post-pandemic era, this net.art project reflects on the stillness of our bodies during the period of isolation we experienced in 2020 and part of 2021. Esteparia's idea was to transform an everyday landscape into something completely new, capable of taking us on a journey to a different digital environment with each execution. Initially, this project manifested physically across three exhibitions before being captured on this site. ‘Viajemos’ is a visual exploration that invites the viewer to embark on an immersive journey through digital landscapes.
Interactive web art / VR. Virtual scenario that invites the visitor to participate in the act of orbiting and moving, with elements that build a space that refers to the astronomical field, but in a playful way guided by free interpretation. An invitation to interact and discover this unique planetary simulation.
Video art. Audiovisual produced using sound synthesizers and programming (Hydra, P5). PR3S3NC3 ≠ 4BS3NS3 represents the challenge of virtual collaborative creation, where the absence of physical interaction between bodies becomes an ephemeral and unrecognizable presence; nonetheless, irreplaceable in its humanity. Absence is never total, because presence is never complete. Piece created in collaboration with Tomas Pojaghi during a production residency at The F Project Gallery (Warrnambool, VIC, Australia).
Born in 1992, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Sound artist who uses computers, synthesizers, sequencers, and guitars to produce his work. He released his first EP in 2015 and since then has composed works in various styles ranging from rock to experimental techno. Currently, he is a session musician in the music project Winona Riders, playing sequencers, drum machine, minilogue, and guitar.
Visual artist born and based in La Pampa, Argentina. She holds a Professor and a Bachelor's degree in Art History (UNLP), and works as a researcher, artist, VJ, and livecoder. Her work is characterized by the combination of various media formats, both digital and analog. She also engages in independent teaching and conducts workshops on creative programming and live coding for beginners. Over the past few years, her work has been part of various national and international exhibitions and events.
