Joaquina Salgado
About
Joaquina Salgado (b.1995, Argentina) is a Berlin-based Trans-Media artist whose practice explores the entangled relationships between technology, the human body, and digital consciousness. Working at the intersection of art and science, she creates interactive installations, Interfaces, virtual environments, and audiovisual performances that interrogate identity, memory, and perception within technological systems.
Joaquina studied multimedia arts at the Universidad de Artes de La Plata (Argentina) and has participated in numerous residencies. In 2022, At Goldsmiths University of London, she developed Water Nodes, a motion-capture-based exploration of water's poetic and political dimensions. In 2023 During a Pro Helvetia residency in Basel, she created DERIVA, an audiovisual performance using performer-driven motion data, showcased at ZHdK in Zurich. Her first solo exhibition, Reserva Digital, debuted at Centro Nave in Chile in 2023, presenting a speculative ecosystem of digital species that bridged affective and control technologies. Her works have been featured in Mutek (Buenos Aires and Montreal), APAP7 Triennial (Korea), and Berlin Art Week.
