ACERCA DE
Malitzin Cortés, known as CNDSD, is a musician, live event programmer, and creative technologist with a background in architecture. Her work investigates how sound, technology, and science become mechanisms of self-reflection capable of generating speculative worlds, in a present of constant crisis and hope. Through creative programming, software and hardware development, computer-generated imagery (CGI), and immersive technologies, her practice explores the metaversal condition between the physical and the digital, proposing alternative modes of social, political, and sensory interaction on a planetary scale.
She has participated in live events and exhibitions worldwide, including at prestigious venues like Centro Multimedia, Laboratorio de Arte Alameda, Arte Actual Exteresa, Centro Cultural Digital, Medialab Prado, Matadero, Centro Cultural de España, CMMAS, and international events such as ISEA, CYLAND Media Arts Lab in St. Petersburg, Asia Culture Center, ADAF Athens, Ars Electronica, The ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, and MUTEK in Mexico, Argentina, Montreal, and Japan.
Her accolades include the Lumen Prize Gold Award, recognition for Best Latin American Immersive Experience by the Colombian Government REALMIX, ADAF Athens Virtual Reality Award, FONCA National Young Creators of Art Award, and Lumen Prize Gold Award 2023.
