Isabel Merchante
visual artist.
Isabel Merchante is a visual artist with a background in design and computation. Her work integrates programming, neural networks, projection, and ephemeral matter to reimagine technology as an emotional and poetic tool. Through a speculative approach, she designs systems in which technical objects are displaced from their sociopolitical logic of efficiency to become companions in thought. In recent years, she has gained recognition for her distinctive approach to AI within sculpture and installation, exhibiting in institutions such as CentroCentro and La Casa Encendida, Madrid; Tate Modern and Camden Art Centre, London; Círculo de Bellas Artes, Madrid; MARCO, Vigo; Cidade da Cultura de Galicia, Santiago de Compostela; CAMT, Tetouan; and Fondazione Pastificio Cerere, Rome. An alumni of the Royal College of Art, London, and UFV, Madrid, Isabel is currently completing an MFA in Computational Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London, supported by a “la Caixa” Foundation Postgraduate Fellowship Abroad.
