nEcKo multidisciplinary artist presents a personal research whose foundations reside in science,
technology and ethics. A reflection on the past, present and future of our evolution as a
species. With its conclusions, it explores and reinterprets highly topical concepts, through
multiple formats and artistic disciplines, scientific, artistic, ethical and philosophical. In
the XXI century, life does not have a clear and agreed definition either from a scientific point
of view or from an ethical point of view. Life ... the most basic and conceptual point on which
to sustain our existence, object of study for generations and generations of biologists,
paleontologists, sociologists, philosophers and thinkers has traditionally been investigated
from biased parts of the subject giving as a result a partial knowledge and little holistic As
the dominant species of the planet, humans go through our ephemeral existence among chemical
reactions, in an almost infinite sequence of data reception and analysis with the main goal of
surviving.

This infinite sequence of data reception and processing generates conclusions and
decision making of greater or lesser importance. It is easy to conclude that our judgment and
will is biased and limited by the limitation of our own sensory perceptions and our cognitive
systems. That is to say, the information that we will process, with which we will later make
judgments, establish theories and determine some conclusions, is nothing more than the result of
what the basic information collection of our data reception tools gives us: sight, taste,
hearing, smell and touch. Accepting this reflection places us in the reality of a new present,
and in this new present, for the artist, the human species is bound to open a deep and sincere
debate on the conflict generated by superlative humanism and the functional limitations of the
individual . We have the responsibility to reflect on how these limitations and uncertainties
influence our de facto present and future in a scenario where technological development takes on
a greater role each day. Technology, a new variable in our existence, whose exponential growth
marks and will mark, our evolution as a species, changing without a doubt this interrelationship
game.
