Manuel Pina B is an artist, pedagog, and social and spiritual activist. His (re)search focuses on spirituality+technology as a key intra relation to elucidate present realities and challenges, and imagine new forms of social relations and justice

His work adopts digital imaging technologies and transmedia languages, in particular the digital interface (DI) as today’s dominating form of communication, a new language central to the formation of our present cultural and social conditions.

The goal is to explore DI potentials for the preservation of suppressed epistemologies towards the imaginations of other futures. Ongoing (re)search manifests as a proto-online environment: tsukanka.hotglue.me
