In Tension delves into the dissolution of the barriers of perceptual reality, in the limits between technology and the interpretation of light phenomena. The series deals with the hybridization of the physical and virtual worlds through the dialogue of its materials, where it is difficult to distinguish between the characteristics of the materials themselves and those that refer to digital manipulations. Rubber and metal contrast their physical attributes in a common mechanical work that defines the tension generated in each work. In Tension shows how the technological field manifests itself beyond the screens of the beyond the screens of electronic devices, enveloping the physical objects and blurring the spectra that divide the work from its digital representation.
