Guante. This work is based on data visualization, It deals with solar flares, electromagnetic waves, climatic data and atmospheric phenomena. Most of the works are finished as drawings, half made on computer and half by hand, they are a metaphor on how science and mankind find ways to approach to things that are in a different scale from us. The idea of representa- tion as an agreement between the observer and the transla- tor of the data. It’s also a different way to approach intangi- ble phenomena and understand it through mixed media. All of this work was possible by an alliance between an electronic engineer and an artist.
