Elsa Casanova Sampé & Víctor Betriu Yáñez
Elsa Casanova is a designer and artistic researcher exploring the structures that shape our cultural imaginaries, using image production, object hacking and performance as her main research/production tools. She has recently been an artist-in-residency in Matadero developing The Banality of Talking about the Weather, an investigation on the influence of meteorological representations in our relation with the climate crisis. The project has been awarded by Barcelona Crea and Sala d’Art Jove grants, and has been presented in TBA21 and Miró Foundation.
Víctor Betriu is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at Wageningen University, where he critically analyses the concept of responsible innovation through Simondon and Derrida. His academic interests revolve around deconstruction and poststructuralist thought in relation to the philosophy and ethics of technology. He also has experience in critical and speculative design practices at DOES Work.
They have been collaborating to explore the productive tensions between philosophy and art.
