📌Manuel Bafaluy (spanish artist, based in Valencia, Pluto resident).

Manel is a visual artist exploring the intersections between the organic and the digital. His artistic research focuses on new digital tools to express his fascination with the elemental forms of nature and the intangible structures that constitute life. Specializing in digital sculpture through 3D printing and virtual reality modeling, he shares his creative processes via live performances, revealing a unique relationship with digital plasticity through automatism and intuitive exploration. His work spans contemporary sculpture, scenography, digital art, and muralism, emphasizing meanings that emerge from abstract forms created with unconventional materials.

In his current project, he proposes creating a live sculpture using virtual reality, projected in the natural setting of a beach in Valencia. The piece will be modeled digitally in real-time, allowing the audience to witness its evolution while interacting with the surroundings. This project adopts an abstract and biomorphic approach, aiming to capture the organic evolution of organisms without explicit references to concrete forms.

The sculpture evolves as a constantly transforming entity, inviting hypnotic contemplation. By using technology, the work offers an immersive experience that encourages reflection on the nature of living beings, their transformation processes, and the relationship between the organic and the digital. The projection in the beach environment enhances this connection, creating a visual experience that challenges the boundaries between reality and the virtual, prompting viewers to contemplate the cycles of nature and the impact of transformation on all living beings.
