Daniel Cao (Nicaragua/Barcelona, 1995) I am currently a resident at Fabra i Coats within the SAC-FiC Residency Program in Barcelona, with the project Gardens, Recreational Spaces, and Zones of Subjectivity, an exploration of the relationship between male individuals in urban gardens and their connection to virtual environments in multiplayer video games. I am also a finalist in the Miquel Casablancas 2025 Call for Visual Arts, a program to support the creation and promotion of emerging artists promoted by Sant Andreu Contemporani. I have participated in residencies at Matadero Madrid (2024) and Hangar (2023), developing projects that combine theoretical research and sensory exploration. At Matadero, I initiated Gatos Montessori, about feline coexistence and multispecies families. At Hangar, Animal Cruising evolved, investigating the interaction between non-human bodies and urban spaces. I participated in the TEMPORALS 2024 program, a traveling program of contemporary art projects and three exhibitions in Barcelona neighborhoods with Vinader: An Interplanetary Journey, a traveling project that fuses photography, image, and performance, activating audience interaction. My work process begins with a seminal concept that, as I develop, I connect with the context of art. I consider my works as meeting points of ideas and experiences, where my main references converge: science fiction, video games, biology, and technology. My artistic work focuses on transforming into image, drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance the research I conduct on topics as diverse as extraterrestrial speculation and its connection with nature, the expansion of video game environments into the realm of reality, and new social paradigms in multispecies families. Through my proposals—usually developed in relation to the social context or territory where they are presented—I seek to explore diverse sensorial and performative narratives to generate dialogue with a wide variety of audiences, thereby creating spaces for interaction and reflection on the object and contemporary artistic practice.
