Presenter

Andres Burbano is the SIGGRAPH 2021 Retrospective chair; he is a media artist and scholar and is an Associate Professor in the Department of Design at Universidad de los Andes, in Bogota, Colombia. Burbano holds a PhD in Media Arts and Technology from the University of California Santa Barbara; and is visiting professor at the Danube University in Krems, Austria, and the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, Germany. "Burbano, originally from Colombia, explores the interactions of science, art, and technology in various capacities: as a researcher, as an individual artist, and in collaborations with other artists and designers. Burbano's work ranges from documentary video (in both science and art), sound and telecommunication art to the exploration of algorithmic cinematic narratives. The broad spectrum of his work illustrates the importance, indeed the prevalence, of interdisciplinary collaborative work in the field of digital art."
