ARNAU TÀSIES
Visual artist & researcher
My work inhabits the boundary between human and machine, where digital language converges with the printed medium. Through rigorous experimentation with software, hardware, and algorithms, I explore the intimate potential of technology, creating daily pieces that evolve from technical trial into visual narrative. Embracing glitch, post-internet, and net art aesthetics, my process distills complex code into tangible forms, weaving dreamlike, synthetic spaces that reflect both human presence and computational trace. Each piece is an invitation to encounter and reflect on our ever-deepening relationship with digital realities.

Panopticón Simbiótico
The Symbiotic Panopticon is a research-driven project that critically examines AI technology through an intersectional lens, challenging the normative biases ingrained in generative AI systems. This project, originating as a master’s thesis, reimagines AI tools as instruments of counter-surveillance, repurposing these systems to scrutinize and subvert corporate and governmental oversight.
Three prototype artifacts serve as counter-surveillance tools, each designed to reinterpret AI's potential from a perspective of resistance rather than compliance. These artifacts propose an alternative narrative for generative technology, inviting the viewer to consider AI as a means to monitor power instead of people.
As part of the research, a virtual space created in Unreal Engine acts as a digital archive, a virtual landscape housing the project’s research, prototypes, and visual documentation. This archive transforms the viewer's experience of surveillance itself, creating an immersive, interactive environment where viewers can explore and question the evolving relationship between visibility, control, and digital agency.
