Scientific communication plays a crucial role in the dissemination of knowledge and the evolution of academic and artistic discourse. This section brings together my presentations at conferences, symposiums, and research seminars, where I share my work on topics such as body representation, technological hybridization, science fiction, photography, and contemporary visual arts.
Through these exchanges with the scientific and artistic community, I explore how imagery, performance, and technology redefine our relationship with the body and identity. These events provide an opportunity to examine interdisciplinary perspectives, challenge ideas, and enrich discussions on the evolution of artistic and cultural practices.
Here, you will find a list of my past presentations, reflecting my commitment to research and the dissemination of knowledge.
