Aplysia
Mindscapes, a sequence where you fall and a vivid dream about sequoias
The dreamlike narrative of Aplysia flows from the fractured consciousness of a lucid dream, traversing memories, conversations, and ritualizations about the stories that construct one's own reality. Like a faulty hard drive, this recurring dream struggles to forge new images and reinterpret past paths with the anxiety of waking up to a new dream.
The experience is titled Aplysia in honor of a marine mollusk (Aplysia californica), that possesses a simple yet sophisticated nervous system, making it a vital asset in the realm of basic research on memory, artificial recall, and learning.
Aplysia is an exploration that delves into the dynamic convergence of live cinema, collective rituals, and immersion design. In constant reverie, it is still iterating its form, its stories, its elusive images. It is still dreaming itself.

WAVE 201
THE UNWANTED ATLANTIS
Every night, a ghost town emerges on the shores of Patagonia. Countless boats light up the horizon in search of squid in the international waters of mile 201, bringing with them deep reflections on the idea of maritime sovereignty, ecological balance and the unforeseeable consequences of future settlements that will redefine and question new territorialities.
Virtual reality + Experimental documentary + Interactive installation
Wave 201: The Unwanted Atlantis was selected for MIT’s Cocreation Studio Worlding Program for the Aqua Community Cohort
The library of all possible things
A journey inspired by Nobel laureate César Milstein, uncovering the revolutionary story of monoclonal antibodies and their impact on science.
This project bridges cinema, technology, and science, offering both a feature film and a groundbreaking immersive experience currently in development.
