Bio

I’m a new media art cultural producer and curator specialized in experimental art videogames. I have a degree in Public and Institutional Relations and a Master Degree in Communication and Cultural Creation by the Walter Benjamin Foundation (thesis awaiting jury). I’m the director of Game on! El arte en juego, the only exhibit in Argentina focused on games-technology-society, which I’ve been running since 2009. I’m co-founder of the Latin American Meeting of Videogames, I’m co-founder of GAIA (Game Arts International Assembly) and also co-founder of the cultural producer Objeto a, focused on art and technology. I co-edit the Game Studies publication at Universidad de Palermo and I’m part of the collective Women in Games Argentina . I’m dedicated to the divulgation of experimental and artistic videogames, particularly interested in fostering their insertion in the cultural field and encouraging female participation in the industry. I have given talks and participated in events such as TEDx Riodelaplata (Buenos Aires), Jorge Tadeo Lozano University (Bogotá), DevHourmx (Mexico City), DiGRA (Melbourne, Australia) among others.
