Though Gabriel Barcia-Colombo’s immersive, interactive projects have taken many forms, the mixed-media digital artist’s oeuvre is united by a persisting fascination with the dynamic relationship between technology, memory, and identity in the digital age. Barcia-Colombo applies cutting-edge technology to work across a variety of mediums and at various scales, creating video sculptures, performance pieces, and large-scale public installations that explore the role of the digital archive in the formation of contemporary identity and culture. In addition to his artistic practice, Barcia-Colombo serves as an Associate Professor at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he teaches Interactive Media Arts and Interactive Telecommunications.
