Lucía Simón Medina Work About Texts


Lucía Simón Medina is a visual artist, researcher, and educator. Her practice explores, through hand drawing, the limits of language, thought processes, and human and computational temporalities. These themes have led her to explore mathematical hypotheses, musical method compositions, and random number generators to raise awareness about digital phenomena. In her artistic-based Ph.D., she investigates the importance of aesthetics to discern the relevance of the unthinkable, the invisible, and the unconscious in an era in which human behavior is subjected to the calculations of the digital realm. She is also part of the Vienna-based collective laschulas.
