IDENTITY & ORIGINS

From Sonic Architecture to Speculative Mythology

>_ I am a Franco-Spanish artist based in Tokyo, working at the intersection of digital fabrication and sci-fi worldbuilding.

>_
My artistic trajectory began in the invisible structures of sound. Trained in Music & Digital Arts, I spent years constructing sonic architectures—until a sudden hearing loss and tinnitus ruptured my perception. That dissonance forced a re-rooting.

>_ I began to "listen" with my eyes. After discovering 3D printing, I started treating the machine not just as a manufacturing tool, but as a synthesizer of matter—using layer lines, glitches, and printing errors as visual frequencies.

>_ Today, I apply that same structural discipline to Speculative Mythology. I treat the Arkhorin Nexus not merely as a story, but as a corrupted data stream that must be retrieved, decoded, and stabilized into physical proof.
