Manuel Alejandro Rodriguez-Delgado Artist Talk
Manuel Alejandro Rodriguez-Delgado makes work in the space between technological landscapes and imaginary environments. Working in a broad experimental sculpture practice, Rodriguez-Delgado assumes the role of an artist-inventor who produces technological objects. His practice examines ways these objects behave as artifacts of near-future realities and speculative cultural identities. Constructed using refurbished and repurposed electronics, materials, and hardware his work reconsiders technological objects from an artist’s perspective to overcome the hermetic ecology of industrial processes by inventing the means for the research and development of technological objects as articulations of emotional and psychological dimensions.
