Mafe Izaguirre is an artist dedicated to the exploration of hybrid spirituality, intent on the belief that technology can help us to understand and extend human nature. “In other words, what I’m trying to do is extend my spirit using technology,” she says. “Through my machines, I establish a dialogue with the subtle body — my soul, and yours.
