About

My name is sara montoya

I am a multimedia artist, motion designer, and creative director, with academic training from the Fundación Universitaria Bellas Artes in Medellín and advanced studies in audiovisual design and innovation at BAU, Design College of Barcelona, as well as at LCI Barcelona, where I specialized in motion graphics and 3D.

My work has been recognized with awards such as the ADG Laus (Barcelona), the Digital Arts Award from the Medellín City Hall, and the Francisco Morales de Caldas Award (Antioquia), validating my commitment to innovation in the fields of art and design.

I am an artist and researcher whose work explores the intersection between digital art, technology, and artificial intelligence. Through a combination of performance, immersive installations, and visual narratives, I aim to expand the boundaries of perception and question the relationships between the individual, information, and space.

My artistic practice is informed by a background in design and digital animation, with studies in motion graphics and creative direction, which has allowed me to develop a visual and conceptual aesthetic that fuses the abstract with the technological. I am interested in how data flows, granular synthesis, and algorithmic visualization can become tools to generate sensory experiences that activate critical thinking and introspection.

My work is grounded in a continuous exploration of the concepts of information saturation, noise, and emptiness, inspired by thinkers such as Byung-Chul Han and John Cage. I seek to generate dialogues between the material and the immaterial, the physical and the digital, questioning how technology transforms the way we perceive the world and ourselves.

Trajectory and Conceptual Evolution

Since the beginning of my career, I have aimed to build bridges between technology and artistic exploration, integrating visual programming, generative sound, and immersive narratives. Each of my projects has been a stepping stone in the construction of a personal language, where the digital sensorium and the fragmentation of perception are central themes.

We Are One (2017) marked the start of my exploration of the individual’s interconnection in the digital age, analyzing how the body and identity dissolve in the flow of information. This research expanded with Métron, where I explored the relationship between time, rhythm, and sensory perception, using sound and image to construct spaces that disorient and reconfigure the viewer’s relationship with the artwork. Data Stream represents the maturation of these previous investigations, taking the exploration of identity and perception to a new level, where information saturation, granular synthesis, and artificial intelligence intertwine to question how we perceive ourselves in digital environments.
