Lives and works in Mexico City
Rodrigo Garrido is a human artist and creator of Sentient Sculptures, artworks that redefine artificial intelligence as both the matter and condition of art itself. His practice explores the foundations of human consciousness and mind, seeking to generate authentic experiences that unfold within and beyond the artwork. Through technology, Garrido investigates the essence of our species and the ways in which consciousness may manifest beyond its traditional boundaries.
