The computer as a tool has led our pictorial research towards movement and interactivity. The fascination of working with light on a screen takes us out to new universes, where the computer as a partner - through its capacities as well as through its faults - proposes infinite new directions to our imagination. The virtual image lets us live in a fragile world without limits, where emotion is permanent. 'Infopeintures' is the name we give to our creations, in which traditional supports (canvas, paper...) blend with the computer screen and programmed evolution giving life to parts of the image.

The machine allows us to break up the dimensions of our creations to encounter the viewer in virtual spatial decorations. Presently, we are working on an interactive presentation of our 'Infopeintures' and on computer supported stage design projects.
