Through her research, Karina Alvarez investigates how spaces influence perception and interaction. Her work often plays with the idea of fractured narratives and multiple screens, immersing audiences in environments where images and sounds are intentionally disjointed, evoking a sense of discontinuity.
By incorporating low-resolution technology and blending analog techniques with cutting-edge digital processes, Karina Alvarez introduces the concept of "low definition" as a means to explore the contrast between past and present, simplicity and complexity.
Her current projects focus on pushing the boundaries of these technologies, synthesizing audio-visual elements to create thought-provoking, sensory experiences that challenge the way we see and feel our surroundings.
