Juan Linares
Juan Linares is a visual artist with a strong interest in graphic design and web development. His practice revolves around the influence of digital tools on the construction of our shared imaginaries, and the potential of image-making to disrupt and construct potentially more desirable shared futures. He explores this influence through the use of graphic design, websites and installations.
