The absolute of reflection. The reflection is more real than the real because it is pure.

Daydreaming and mental flies.


A  media artist and VJ from La Plata, Argentina, Joaquina Salgado combines emerging technologies to create otherworldly and abstract images, XR experiences, interactive virtual worlds, and AV performances. Her explorations between the physical and oniric worlds converge in the creation of synthetic environments using real-time technologies, digital sculpting, and photogrammetry. Her work reflects on internal programming and the relationship we generate with machines as an interactive mirror.

*Rendering by the Water* is a selection of female-identifying and non-binary perspectives on inhabiting reality and dreams, between the natural, the inner, the domestic, the outer, and the imaginary worlds.


We recognize images as they shape shift, formless; textures vibrate, glow, transform, in a time-based exploration of identity and subjectivity that is fluid and true to the principles of their own queerness, and therefore merging with facts and reality in a diffractive way.
They materialize dream-like realms and “out of this world” perspectives on seemingly mundane, ordinary things and notions of space or natural order. And they do that not as immaterial mirages or illusions, rather, they contribute to the forming of a new consciousness, beyond our limited perceptions, beyond what is presently imaginable. Audre Lorde said it’s through dreams that revelations, that new meaning and knowledge might infiltrate and inform existing structures to organize and function differently, in an act of taking up space that occurs outside the dominant methods and means.


Almost like psychological spaces, maybe self-portraits, these works are rendered as fastical forms to stretch our imagination and provide access to visions and alternative knowledge that might be capable of contributing to world-making and meaningful transformations in the material world.

Nine perspectives on inhabiting reality and dreams.
