Natalia Gima
About ← Back to Home
Natalia Gima is an audiovisual artist working with creative code, new media, and embodied technologies. Her practice explores media not as representation, but as a living condition of perception—creating environments where technology can be felt, inhabited, and remembered.
Rooted in expanded cinema and generative practices, she approaches audiovisual work as a performative and spatial medium. Rather than producing fixed narratives, she composes environments in real time through rhythm, atmosphere, and bodily presence, allowing sound, image, and interaction to unfold as relational processes.
She approaches technology as a sensitive and responsive methodology, developing her own tools and systems through creative coding, modular programming, and hardware prototyping. These systems are designed to co-evolve with bodies, spaces, and contexts, enabling forms of perception that emerge through attention, slowness, and sensory engagement.
Originally from Argentina and based in Barcelona for over twenty years, Natalia graduated from CIEVYC, an experimental film school in Buenos Aires. In 2019, she completed a Master’s degree in Interactive Environments and Audiovisual Innovation at BAU (Barcelona), where she expanded her practice into programming, Arduino-based prototyping, and DIY methodologies—integrating her cinematic background with computational and spatial approaches.
That same year, she co-founded the artistic collective Akyute together with Magdalena Hart and Miriam Felici. Their collaborative practice explores interactive and ecological media, developing performances and installations that integrate technological systems into lived experience, emphasizing relational and situated forms of perception.
Her work has been presented at festivals and institutions such as Sónar Festival, MIRA Festival, MMMAD Madrid Digital Festival, Arts Santa Mònica, NEO CosmoCaixa, and MODEL Festival, among others. Alongside this, she has collaborated with artists and collectives including MBODJ and Jokkoo Collective.
In recent years, her research has focused on collaborations with dancers and performers, exploring the body as an interface through motion sensing and generative audiovisual systems. These projects reflect her ongoing interest in how digital systems can become experiential conditions, shaping how bodies sense time, space, and presence.
