Pablo Valbuena has been linked to tangent fields related to art and architecture developing spatial concepts applied to virtual environments and digital architecture. He is currently developing new ways of using light altering the perception of physical space through projected virtual realities. His work is focused on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation, creating a tension between the virtual and the real.

The artist projects a drawing, a map of the space, onto the space itself. The real and the virtual gallery overlap. Pablo´s work is based on tools as old as trompe l’oeil or perspective. He manipulates the audience perception. The space transformation is achieved by movement, light and shadow. Instead of building architectures with physical materials, the projection of lines and planes of light is which creates the illusion of new spaces, redrawing them, extending them, emptying them. The result is a play of light and shadow. Present and absent. Virtual and real. The main idea is to work inside the perception process of the observer, destabilizing the mechanisms of perception.

Puddle thinking

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”

This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

(Douglas Adams)
