Xavi Romero is a transmedia artist and researcher, based in Barcelona. His proposals fuse technology and philosophy through art. His interest lies in proposing a techno-social awareness about new technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence; he explores the human experience in the connected society, investigates the social, political and personal implications of the use of new technologies and questions our relationship with and through them. Through his artistic practice he invites a critical reflection about new technologies through interactive installations, photography, audiovisual media, soundscapes and video games.
His work has been exhibited at La Capella (2024); the Can Framis Museum (2023), having been selected by the Vila Casas Foundation to be part of the PATRIM’22 UB Fine Arts Collection; Sense Títol (2022), an exhibition organised by the University of Barcelona itself in which they present a selection of the best production and research works; the University of Barcelona (2021) or La Nau Bostik (2019).
