Lazo - Artist Creating Interactive Visual and Sound Installations
Lazo is a contemporary artist based in Chile whose practice bridges the gap between sound, visual media, and technology. Central to Lazo's work is the concept of autopoietic systems—self-creating structures that respond to environmental and viewer-driven stimuli. This exploration is manifest in projects such as [999], an interactive visual and sound installation exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago, which utilizes microcomputers like Raspberry Pi and sensors to create a dialogue with the audience. Lazo describes their goal as the production of "visual sound," creating a chromatic vibration designed to resonate with the observer on a personal level. Drawing inspiration from ancient philosophies and concepts like the "music of the spheres," Lazo applies musical parameters such as rhythm, tone, and tension to visual works, including paintings and murals. The artist's portfolio features diverse exhibitions in cities like Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt, such as "Mycelium" and "sistemasInteractivos," which explore themes ranging from the origin of life to neuronal interactions. By integrating sound and interactive projections, Lazo transforms galleries into immersive environments where art is not a static object but an instance of a dynamic, ongoing process.
