environment through which one can walk. "Distraction" again placed in the top
10 in the 2002 FIEDAD award.
Her first solo work for SOURCE "fragment", highlights her crisp primary-color

A fiercely independent spirit, Arturo quit his job as a designer for Virgin Studios México in 1999 and launched XNOGRAFIKZ,
producing mograph for ad agencies & corporate clients. His ultra-detailed, ultra-fast style has earned invitations to

VideoFest 2K6 (MX), Nemo Festival (FR), Live Cinema Nights (USA), Festival Interface (MX), Repeat Please: Cultura VJ (ES),

At the core of his visuals are the (apparent) contradictions at the center of human experience and mexican culture.
His visual sets make extensive use of mythologic & occult imagery; he cuts up, decontextualizes and reconfigures
these powerful splinters of meaning, using them as a personal aid in the search for a center point of balance;
the unification of harmonic opposites.
