In 2020, the prestigious Lightbox NYC became the stage for the Creative Code Festival. More than an exhibition, it was an encounter where code, generative art, and sound synthesis converged in a large-scale immersive experience.


Algorithmic Immersion and Digital Landscapes

Utilizing Lightbox’s immersive architecture as an active canvas, the work When nature does not sleep unfolded as an autonomous ecosystem. The project is fueled by visual programming and experimental sound design, allowing geometries and frequencies to dialogue in real-time.

The spatial design of the installation allowed for the projection of these generative textures at a massive scale, creating an enveloping atmosphere that blurs the barrier between the viewer and the digital medium. Each sound frequency was sculpted through modular synthesis, interacting directly with the visual mutations.


When nature does not sleep

An audiovisual installation awarded a Nanogrand, where visual and auditory stimuli intertwine to form a contemplative digital nature.

Immersive Architecture

The integration of interactive technology and large-format projections translated algorithmic complexity into a unique physical and sensory experience in the heart of Manhattan.


Recognition and Dialogue

Participation in this festival solidified Mettapana’s focus on building bridges between interactive technology and contemporary art, demonstrating how the precision of code can be transformed into aesthetic sensitivity and visual narrative.

Information

Mettapana works at the intersection of generative art, creative coding and musical composition; his work explores the dialogue between technology, sound and image as a contemplative practice.

Festivals & Residencies

Mettapana has left its mark on a wide range of festivals including MODULAR (HN) Domo Experience and MUTEK ARGENTINA/SPAIN. He has participated as Artist in Residence at MAB «La Maison André Breton» in France, and exhibited at Creative Code Festival in New York and BRIFW in Brazil. His presence has been recurrent in festivals and artistic residencies across Europe and America.

Artistic Vision

Inspired by the macro and micro universes of nature, his experiences invite immersion in diverse landscapes represented through live visuals of generative and interactive art. Technology is applied to performing arts, where visual compositions render in real-time, interacting audio-reactively with live instruments like bandoneon, piano, and modular synthesizers.

Background

Nicolás is a digital visual artist and musician with over 15 years of trajectory. Recognized as a cultural activist, he has worked in prominent spaces like Archibrazo in Buenos Aires and is the co-founder of Cultura Guacamaya in Tegucigalpa. METTAPANA is the project that reunites all these experiences, where sound design, programming, and visual creations coexist.

Musical Roots

Trained at the Leopoldo Marechal Conservatory and EMBA, he studied Recording Engineering and Music Production at Inartec. A self-taught bandoneon player since 2009, he has toured Europe and South America with groups like MIL ABRAZOS and BICICLETA TRÍO, and composed for dance-theater projects like 'Permiso para pisar un mundo' in Medellín.
