Alonso’s art practice as Flor de Fuego investigates digital image and media, producing images and sounds related to live coding, animation, video and the Internet. She has produced projections for full dome live coding at the Planetarium of the City of Buenos Aires and Bogota, and at the Domo Lleno 2019 festival with Iris Saladino. Together with Francisco Raposeiras, she is part of a duo called “c0de p03try” where they work with a performative audiovisual proposal that combines code, chaos and poetry as concepts to be developed.
