A work by Max-o-matic on the archive and personal memory of Sònia López, with code programmed by Marcos Biagi.
Max-o-matic has been the first artist to receive a commission from Deckard who, with this collaboration, starts his own digital art collection. The works will be exhibited regularly in El marco, the editorial space that opens our website, putting the focus on creativity and artistic experimentation as values of our own project.
Using randomness as the main tool for mixing images, Max-o-matic (Máximo Tuja) has transformed an archive of photos, moments and ideas into a series of portraits and imprecise landscapes. These, as a whole, delineate a rich and complex narrative, defined by cuts, intersections, coincidences and unintentional poetic gestures. The combination of disparate elements has generated works whose result defies perception and logic, offering a visual universe where the unexpected takes center stage.
Max-o-matic (Máximo Tuja), born in Buenos Aires in 1975, is an artist and image maker. Since 2002 he lives and works in Barcelona. His work has been exhibited in galleries in Barcelona, London, Madrid, New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Rome, Lima or Mexico City, to name a few. He has worked with brands such as Nike, Wired Magazine, Spotify, Newsweek, New York Times, Electronic Arts or Universal Pictures making his characteristic collages for commercial and editorial projects. He is a founding member and director of The Weird Show, showcasing the most outstanding contemporary collage worldwide in exhibitions, online and in print.
