Pablo Somonte Ruano
Pablo Somonte Ruano (b. Mexico City, 1992) works with ambiguous software, generative systems, experimental interfaces, transmedia narratives, p2p infrastructure and odd music. At the moment he is enrolled in the digital media master's programme for theory, technology and design at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen. He is working on Neighbourhoods: a design philosophy for holochain apps that enables groups to articulate their own algorithmic culture through cultural computation. He makes music for his personal project, Párvulos, as well as in a duo called Actual Occasions with Nicolo Cervello: a sound and distribution exploratory practice inspired by philosophies of affect, materiality and modulation. Since 2020, he has developed the website and created the online experiences of Center for International Research on Collaborative Arts (circa106), an independent space in Bremen run by students of the University of Arts (Víctor Artiga Rodríguez, Aria Farajnezhad, Vicc Repasi and Maria Arzt). During 2017 and 2018, he taught an undergraduate course at CENTRO University in Mexico City, titled ‘Networks and systems: Politics and economics’. Since 2015, he has worked with filmmakers Analía Goethals, Nicolás Gutiérrez Wenhammar and Santiago Mohar Volkow on a collective project called DERIVA.MX, a transmedia project approaching structural violence in Mexico. He has shown artistic work in collective exhibitions and festivals in various cities across Mexico and Germany.
