Santiago Tavera
Santiago Tavera is an interdisciplinary Canadian and Colombian artist. He explores virtual narratives of dislocation and perception through the construction of interactive and immersive experiences. His practice intends to place bodies in spaces of translation between the physical and virtual to simulate the state of a displaced body in a constant process of being and becoming. The work has recently been exhibited at Agence TOPO (Montréal), the Maison de la Culture Marie-Uguay, during Montreal’s International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN), The Innovation Centre during the Ottawa International Animation Festival (Ottawa), Hangar 16 part of the Chromatic Festival 2016 (Montréal), Art Mûr (Montréal), the Galeria de Arte e Pesquisa – UFES (Vitoria, Brazil), Solange Guez + Arte Contemporaneo (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Laboratório de Arte Alameda, (Mexico City), The Wrong – A New Digital International Art Biennial (Online Exhibition), and a screening at the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) among others. His current international projects have been supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Ministry of Culture of Colombia and Hexagram | Centre de Recherche en Arts Médiatiques. Tavera holds an MFA (Intermedia) from Concordia University and a BA (Honors) Specialization in Visual Arts and Major in Psychology from Western University (www.santiagotavera.com).
