Magdalena Molinari AR

Architect, visual artist and Master in Electronic Arts from Argentina.

Her work combines electronics, programming, light, color and video to explore the relationship between control systems, spatial devices and materials. She creates walkable light installations that generate experiences of pure sensation, omitting identification or association with the known.

In 2010, she received her architectural degree from the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the UBA. Since then, she has studied electronics and programming independently and as a self-taught artist. In 2016 she began the Master’s Degree in Electronic Arts at the University of Tres de Febrero, where she is currently a teacher. In 2017, she received a scholarship to undertake a residency at Sporobole, an art center in Quebec, where she developed a digital video-to-light translation system.

Molinari has exhibited her work in several galleries and cultural centers, including MACBA, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Muntref, Casa Nacional del Bicentenario, Laboratorio Festival, Centro Cultural Rojas, Centro Cultural San Martín, Universidad Torcuato DiTella and Centro Cultural Kirchner. She has also participated in festivals such as FASE, SONAR, MUTEK.AR, Mutek Montreal, CASo and Centro Cultural Parque España. She has given talks at the University of Palermo, the University of Fine Arts of Rosario and the University of Tres de Febrero. She has conducted workshops on the transition from digital image to light and is a professor of the Master in Electronic Arts at Untref, the Master in Interactive Design at Fadu and the Bachelor in Design at DiTella.

Between 2020 and 2023, she developed a virtual reality project called “Sensitive Superpositions” with Canadian artist Erin Gee, with support from Amplify D.A.I. and the Canada Council. They are currently developing a multimedia performance based on this project. In 2022, Molinari won first prize at CCEBA’s MediaLab for electronic art projects for her LandArt installation called “PHOTESFERAS”, which was exhibited in Buenos Aires and Rosario.
