Alejandro Borsani is an artist and educator working at the intersection of art and technology. His practice brings together sculpture, electronics, computation, video, and animation. His work examines how science and technology transform nature, knowledge, and labor into objects of measurement, appropriation, and control. Blending fact and fiction, he explores sites with contested histories and uncertain futures, creating poetic encounters that expose these systems and imagine alternative relationships among humans, technology, and the natural world.

Borsani’s work has been presented in museums, galleries, festivals, and conferences in more than a dozen countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Selected venues include ACM SIGGRAPH, Cairotronica, BIENALSUR, the Aesthetica Short Film Festival, ARTECH, the Festival Internacional de la Imagen, the Lahore Design Summit, and the Santa Fe International New Media Festival. His work has received support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Fundación Telefónica, and the Santa Fe Art Institute.
