Talking characters. Synthetic performers. Desert noir. Ixchel9 & Mixtli discuss AI culture, institutional logic, and conspiracy residue. A narrative system under pressure. #AIArt #MediaArt #GenerativeArt #Animation #SpeculativeFiction #CreativeTechnology #CharacterDesign #NewMediaArt

Estrella del Mañana—voice up, mask on, future loud. A técnico who speaks in color, gesture, and myth. Mesoamerican pop surrealism, studio-born and ring-ready. Mask = memory. Gesture = message. Watch how a técnico turns motion into meaning. #Lucha #MaskedStory#tecnico #animation #PopSurreal

Artwork based on prose from late classic Maya poetry “The Serpent and the Dragon Fly”I looked up at the sky as the wind whispered around me,my thoughts reaching into the vast unknown. From the highest vault of the heavens,a monstrous dragonfly’s head gleams,reflecting shifting echoes of time. It strikes at the hand of the unbound maker,

A Curatorial Perspective on Ephemeral Urban Interventions
Street Art Description Analysis Street art operates at the intersection of spatial politics, temporality, and social engagement. Unlike sanctioned public art, it exists in a liminal space. It lies between the institutionalized and the insurgent, reflecting power, resistance, and impermanence dynamics. My work has long explored algorithmic processes. I have examined aesthetic interventions and decolonial frameworks. These reshape the way we perceive and interact with public space.
