After eight years working as a software engineer in R+D companies in Spain, England and Brazil, Lucio decided to invest his experience and ideas on interactivity and artificial intelligence in the artistic world. Julio began working as an artist when he received an AVAM grant in 2006 to carry out his "Sound Shoes" project in Madrid. Since then he has been dividing his time between Spain and Brazil, designing, creating and producing artistic installations in which art and technology converge, in order to bring the public closer to the world of science in a beautiful, interactive and playful way. Julio Lucio presents the following works:

"Sound Walk" is a human sequencer which users use to generate various musical events with their own movement. The viewers play the central role and are the creators of the work. "Sound Walk" creates an interactive game between the user and the sequencer, making the visitor feel like both the instrument and the composer of the music. Music written by Nikka.

"Cymatics" is the visual representation of sound - its embodiment, its shape. "Cymatics" traces sound, its textures, its oscillations, its movements, and even its personality. The work allows sound to be played with, viewed and modulated at the rhythm of the user's movement and play. A speaker, movement sensors, and a pinch of bicarbonate that shows us the shape and life of the sound.

"i_man:es" represents the struggle of magnetic forces to find equilibrium. Oscillating tension to achieve temporary or momentary stability. Vibration, lines in the void towards a destination … or not. The search for equilibrium and harmony with oneself, and one's environment... "i_man:es".

Project location: Niu - Free entrance
Julio Lucio will be at the instalation on Thursday 18th throughout the day.
