Brisa is a Chilean transmedia artist based in Barcelona who works in a variety of formats, such as Performance/ Dance Installation, Site-specific Interventions, Video Art, Generative Art, Artificial Intelligence, and Interactive Installations, which she has accompanied with user manuals and theoretical articles.

She began interdisciplinary artwork in the late 90’s as a student, interweaving visual arts with architecture and the urban context, leading her to blend dance and video in the early 2000s, a creative hybrid approach using her own body and technology.
Brisa’s investigations and pieces address the relationships and intersections between the physical body and technology, rethinking a new combination of the human being moving towards the future, and machines as a species of our ecosystem.

She has analyzed the concept of code, proposing performance/dance composition score as a computer algorithm, and the computer as an artist. Brisa addresses the displacements of [political] power within the arts. She examines collaborative and relational strategies with audiences, interaction with machines, while highlighting technical and creative processes working with error and randomness. Brisa manufactures her own technological tools with low technologies, hardware, and free software and she also likes to collaborate with other professionals.
