Tupac Martir

Workstation New Media

Tupac Martir is an awarded, multi-disciplinary, digital artist with a portfolio that ranges from lightning design to performative reality using ad-hoc, fast-forward technological solutions in music, theatre, fashion, opera and exhibitions.
After decades exploring technology, science and art, Tupac’s recent works have delved into LLM (Large Language Model), VR (Virtual Reality) and VP (Virtual Presence) to expand and blend boundaries in entertainment, media, theatre and art with pioneer pieces such as “UNIQUE”.
In lighting design, Tupac has recently been awarded with the Profile Awards in Outstanding Achievement in Innovation for his work in “Find your Eyes,” from the British choreo-photolist Benji Reid.

ERIYA (“to feel” in the indigenous Mexican language of Huichol) was part of the “Beyond the Road” exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in 2019. “Beyond the Road” was a deconstruction of music James Lavalle (UNKLE) soundtrack turned into a multidisciplinary walk-in album that merged visual arts, music, and film.

ERIYA is centered around a dancer that moved around the viewer creating the illusion she was appearing in the space. The artistic concept behind it was to turn the ephemeral into a feeling, an environment — the dancer appearing and disappearing from the view while at the same time, it transforming the dancer’s body.
Multidisciplinary artist Tupac Martir used key technologies to find the proper solutions, including Kinect tracking and Notch software for visual effects.
