Carla de la Torre, visual designer, specializes the exploration of alternative forms of communication and information representation. She sees design as a means to new perspectives, not specific solutions. She challenges the boundaries between art and non-art, promoting critical thinking. Her works oscillate between a judgment of political heaviness and humor and sarcasm. She creates narratives through installations, exhibitions and campaigns, fusing design and performance.
“Taking data as a starting point, we will seek to identify and interrogate complex socio-political issues and turn them into stories. We look for that special angle between the project, student and society, using design as a tool to deactivate the autopilot in which we live.”
