PROFILE // RESEARCH

Jaco Casstillo Portrait

Cuban visual artist and software engineer who explores the intersection between art, data, mathematics, principles of quantum physics, and interactive technology. Currently based in Madrid.

His current work focuses on immersive new media art experiences: algorithmic light and sound installations, interactive systems, and visualizations that connect the microscopic and the cosmic through mathematical principles, quantum physics, and AI.

MACRO-THESIS:

  • Academic portrait and anatomy.
  • Internal mutations and unconventional supports.
  • Algorithmic works and generative art.

RESEARCH LINES

  • Algorithmic art & Logic of the universe:
    Hypothesis that the logic of digital systems reflects the structure of the universe.
  • Logical spaces:
    Common patterns between microscopic structures and astronomical phenomena (cellular automata).
  • Interactivity & Perception:
    The visitor's body or data flows transform the work in real time.
  • Expanded portrait:
    Systems, cities and networks as "faces" of a collective memory.
  • Family Cartography:
    Generative installation that turns the family tree (Syrian/Galician roots) into a logical space, exploring migrant memory and family fragmentation.
  • Data Art & Citizenship:
    Use of massive databases (UN, NASA) to create immersive works that address issues of the contemporary citizen, crossing personal archives with global records.

PROJECTS & TRAJECTORY

LOGICAL SPACES

Cellular automata, number theory and sacred geometries. Digital ecosystems based on prime numbers and the Fibonacci sequence.

MULTIVÉRTICE

Visualization of the 4th dimension. A "living polyhedron" where the vertices are data nodes modified by the viewer's movement.

SEE MORE >

QUANTUM MECHANICS

Visual systems governed by probability. Applies concepts of superposition and entanglement, where the image is not fixed.

SHALL WE COLLABORATE?

Developing immersive installations for museums and festivals. Open to scientific research and hybrid environments.
