Felipe Sequerra (CORE Artist)

Felipe Sequerra studied Computer Engineering at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain), and improved his new-media skills at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal). He has always focused on the interaction of hardware elements. He has participated in various interactivity and robotics projects. He is a permanent researcher on interaction-related techniques, motion capture and digital behaviors and environments. Since 2010, he has been a computer engineer at CORE Labs’ Hacklab.

CORE Labs, an emerging Spanish digital art studio, is an artistic and cultural platform designed for the production, investigation, experimentation and diffusion of digital and audiovisual culture. It is a resource center shared by artists, who also contribute to contemporary creation through their own activities. CORE’s principal objective is to stimulate international and artistic collaboration by promoting projects and helping Asian artists connect with artists from around the world. CORE is building communication networks and international collaboration between artists and professionals in the fields of audio, audiovisual and multimedia.

CORE acts as a catalyst to find and present alternative and contemporary forms of creation, expression and thinking. It makes it possible for individuals and groups from many cultures to put forward ideas through their own work or in collaboration with companies, organizations, academic institutions and enterprises that share similar aims.

To this end, CORE provides a 242-square-meter studio space in Beijing’s Huantie Art Zone that is both a production laboratory and a creative center for artistic and cultural projects.
