ARNAU TÀSIES
Visual research
New media artist whose works sit at the point where the computational and the physical converge, where processes leave traces, and those traces become images.
What gets lost, corrupted, or transformed becomes the starting point,
using that friction to reveal what normally passes unseen.

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.
