Beca Leonardo BBVA 2018
mother of robots

Mother of Robots' project has been conceived and is being developed by Mónica Rikić, a new media artist and creative coder born in Barcelona.

Mónica focuses her practice on code, electronics and non-digital objects to create interactive works, usually framed as experimental games that go beyond the game itself. Her interest lies in the social impact of technology, human-machine relationship and the reappropriation of technological systems and devices, to manipulate and rethink them through art. From educational approaches to sociological experimentations, she proposes new ways of thinking and interacting with the digital environment that surrounds us.

With her projects she has participated in different international festivals such as Ars Electronica, Japan Media Arts Festival, FILE Brazil and Sónar, among others, and made artistic residencies in Technoculture Arts and Games Montreal, within the EMARE program at QUT-The Cube (Brisbane, Medialab-Prado and Ars Electronica Futurelab.
