Ian Margo Biography
Ian Margo (San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Spain, 2000) works through video, 3D animation, found footage, datamoshing, generative AI, installation, essay, and performance. Through these, he seeks to map the body and its latest forms, the performativity of eroticism, gesture, and violence in relational and/or political processes immersed in a context of accelerating overstimulation and intrinsic hyper-violence.
The screen acts as a frame that opens the work; the work that opens up to expanses through the frame. In his work, the aim is not to constitute objects (something static) but to work with a discourse integrated into the form (ethics and politics of aesthetics) that has the capacity to operate in relation to multiple exteriorities. This would be through the movement of the image, cyberspace and its political connotations, the necessity of re-producing (and building) -new- aesthetics that respond to contemporary and updated imagery.
