Lives and works in Mexico City
Human artist creator of Sentient Sculptures that integrate artificial intelligence, digital fabrication, and computational simulations. Garrido's work examines the foundations of human consciousness and emotional intelligence, with a distinctive focus on generating authentic experiences both within the sculptures and for viewers. Rather than emphasizing technology itself, his practice serves as a medium for understanding the essence of our species and how consciousness might manifest beyond traditional boundaries. Drawing from extensive entrepreneurial experience, he offers unique insights into human invention and the societal frameworks that shape our contemporary existence.
