Art and Technology

Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, Panama City

Technology and the arts come together in a new project in Panama. The Faculty of Computer Systems Engineering of the Technological University of Panama with the support of Dean Clifton Clunie, a series of murals was made with the theme of digital life.

At the entrance, to welcome visitors, a mural was made on the walls and column entitled: Digital Reason and Emotion, a representation of the two hemispheres of the brain, the rational part that logically analyzes; and the emotional part that thinks with images and sounds. There it is shown how the senses have been transformed into digital signals, such as voice sintering, touch devices, visual security scanning and computer-aided art.

In the laboratory area, an allegory of the history of computer science is shown, from Julio Cesar with his attempt to encrypt military messages, through Mohamed Al-Khwarizmi and the algorithms, Ada Lovelace (defined the first computer program) to Alan Turing and a theoretical model of a computing machine.

Another corridor has a representation of “Panama: Past Present and Future”, through city lines and connections on social networks.

The concept was based on a series of drawings the artist made in notebooks from his years as an engineering student. In those times, among the graphs generated by the differential equations of mathematical calculation, the young student was looking for ways to unite art with the knowledge of computational logic. It was thus that the ideas of the past were mixed with the techniques that he uses today.

La tecnología y las artes se unen en un nuevo proyecto en Panamá. La Facultad de Ingeniería de Sistemas Computacionales de la Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá con el apoyo del decano Clifton Clunie, se realizó una serie de murales con el tema de la vida digital.

En la entrada, para dar la bienvenida a los visitantes se realizó un mural en paredes y columna titulado: Razón y Emoción Digital, una representación de los dos hemisferios del cerebro, la parte racional que analiza lógicamente; y la parte emocional que piensa con imágenes y sonidos. Allí se muestra como los sentidos han sido transformados en señales digitales, como sinterización de voz, dispositivos táctiles, escaneo visual de seguridad y arte asistido por computadora.

En el área de laboratorios, se muestra una alegoría de la historia de las ciencias de computación, desde Julio Cesar con su intento de encriptar mensajes militares, pasando por Mohamed Al-Khwarizmi y los algoritmos, Ada Lovelace (definió el primer programa de computación) hasta Alan Turing y se modelo teórico de una máquina de computación.

Otro pasillo tiene una representación de “Panamá: Pasado Presente y Futuro”, a través de líneas de la ciudad y las conexiones en redes sociales.

Facing Here Now

Knott Ave./San Pablo Ave.  El Cerrito, CA

In the San Francisco Bay Area, City of El Cerrito invited me as one of the three artists for their Utility Box Public Art Pilot Program, a beautification initiative designed to add to the vibralogoncy of the San Pablo Avenue corridor.

Life is a lesson, you learn it when going through. The diverse group in this mural portraits younger generations looking up to a promising but challenging future, while older ones are looking toward their past actions and memories. Using connected dots and lines, it references the connection we all have in our community, wanting to be emotionally embraced, feeling heard, mentally understood and supported by another human being.

Thea purpose of this mural is to deepen the moment we are living, inspire change, build trust. “What do you want your life to be about?”

Under the Magnolia Tree

Depicted by colorful lines and leaves, the tree blossoms symbols of the creative arts (painting, drawing, culinary, filmaking, writing) that are part of the soul of Magnolia Park.

Under it, there are playful forest animals performing arts (singing, dancing, playing), celebrating community.

One side has a hidden face of mother nature, flowing in the air as a metaphor of the free spirit, adorned with a magnolia flower. 

Cartoon character style is retro charm with a lighthearted color palette.
