Arts at SXSW London 2026
Spain in Transmission: New Digital Work
Spain in Transmission: New Digital Work
SXSW London presents Spain in Transmission: New Digital Work, which brings together four of the country’s most exciting artists working in digital format. Although Spain is celebrated for cultural icons from Goya and Velazquez to Dali and Picasso, the country has also become a center of innovation and has produced a new generation of artists who embrace digital tools as central to their production.
SXSW London is committed to exploring both the challenges and opportunities of technology in the creative industries. The work presented here demonstrates that artists are clearly embracing these new tools while remembering the rich history of their culture.
Enrique Agudo
Anhedonia is a four-channel video installation by Enrique Agudo that explores self-portraiture as a compositional field rather than a stable likeness. Combining 3D animation, personal archives, and real-time visual processing, Agudo constructs moving collages in which fragments of image, memory, and digital manipulation accumulate and dissolve into painterly formations. Agudo also presents, for the first time, a tapestry utilizing traditional methods to bring a digital image into the physical world.
filip custic
filip custic debuts a new four-channel work that explores the natural world as seen through the digital tools such as AI for which custic is best known. custic’s work positions the human form in a digital landscape and, in this and other works, he asks the question, “Do you like being human?”
Jesu Moratiel
In the new work, Synesthesia, Jesu Moratiel works with state-of-the-art technology to create male and female figures with embedded musical playlists that allow the viewer to become a part of the portraiture practice. His work aims at creating visual experiences that trigger bodily or emotional reactions in the viewer, sometimes drifting into the uncomfortable or the troublesome.
Marina Núñez
Marina Núñez represents in her works a metamorphic, hybrid, multiple identity in the form of images ranging from architecture to the human figure and natural objects. In both Inmersion and Quietas, her intricate, dissolving images reveal themselves before transforming or dissolving.
Spain in Transmission: New Digital Work is curated by Patrick Moore, former director of The Andy Warhol Museum and SXSW London board member.
Dispersed Geographies
Dispersed Geographies transforms the physical structure of geopolitical borders into a shared urban experience. Rooted in Molly Gochman’s ongoing exploration of human connection, environment, and community, the project recasts the silhouette of the Ukraine–Russia border as a series of fragmented, white‑vinyl forms placed directly onto sidewalks in New York City, Kyiv, and soon London.
Cut into 16‑inch‑wide segments ranging from two to five feet in length, these sculptural lines - sometimes clustered within inches of one another, sometimes separated by entire blocks - highlight the elastic distances between people, places, and lived histories. By occupying public walkways, the installation turns the pavement into a canvas for contemplation, inviting passers‑by to engage with the border not as a distant geopolitical construct but as an intimate, physical encounter woven into daily movement.
Situated in neighborhoods defined by migration, memory, and cultural hybridity, Dispersed Geographies treats the city as a microcosm of global interconnection. Each fragment becomes an icon of shared humanity, prompting viewers to consider how personal journeys intersect with collective histories. The work extends Gochman’s long‑standing interest in activating spaces for dialogue - an artistic practice that spans photography, sound, sculpture, and social engagement.
Molly Gochman
Molly Gochman is a New York–based artist working across installation, sculpture, photography, and social practice. Her work consistently challenges material boundaries to create participatory environments that spark reflection, connection, and dialogue. She has exhibited widely across the U.S. and internationally, including the Wassaic Project, Pioneer Works, The Ukrainian Museum, NYC Parks Art in the Parks, and Prospect Park. Her practice is grounded in the belief that “life leathers us”—that shared experience, weather, and time shape who we are and how we see one another.
