Juan Pablo García Sossa is a designer, researcher, and expansive media artist. Juan / jpgs artistic research practice explores the shaping of cultures, realities, and worlds through the remix and re·appropriation of technologies from a Tropikós perspective (understanding the Tropics as both a region and a mindset). jpgs practice is deeply committed to pluriversing technologies towards techno·diversities and more-than-binary perma·computing. Through various netting projects such as Futura Trōpica Netroots, jpgs challenges the homogenising effects of globalism, emphasising relation in difference as in an interPlanetary patchwork of systems and cosmologies. jpgs has developed multiple curatorial projects on and around Post-Development, engaging with emerging digital cultures, grass-root popular cultures, collective intelligences, and the repositioning of realities, deeply informed by networked communities and their evolving creative, technological, and political strategies.
