[Text available only in English] Art has changed, now each of us is an element belonging to the second in which we connect with the artist, we get absorbed by your intentions and merge with its proposal, art moves us. But what moves to art? Definitely, it is not only ingenuity but also the technology that allows the artist to express his senses through his work.

Jose Carlos Reyna, one of the most representative visual artists from South America, has experienced this and we share the evolution of his work from the use of Modul8, the software that made it possible to develop volume and movement in his art pieces and spread the communication limits static or animated video designed to impact the public. Convinced that these tools are those that expand the creative possibilities of the artists designed a strategy to introduce this groundbreaking trend in his country.

Fascinated by this discovery, in 2015 José Carlos contacted with Boris Edelstein, creator of Modul8, and the result of this connection was a workshop for all visual artists of his country. They were two days in which artists from different cities came to Lima to meet and learn Boris Madmapper utilities, revolutionary software that allows mapping of more friendly and easy. What is striking about this was the 3D mapping workshop which performed the most representative of the Lima city archaeological site, Huaca Pucllana. This projection on the impressive monument was a clear sign that things are changing and where you least expect to find artistic performances that move us. Definitely, this was a defining moment for the Peruvian artists, because after this experience José Carlos Reyna stay in front of a group, composed of the best visual artists, with the mission of proposing and activate the visual art scene.

Making a retrospective of the artist's work we go back to December 2013, when Jose Carlos conceptualized and developed the LIGHTBOMB, a controller box 54 LED channels. The unexpected was that an artist of Chile was the first to buy the first issue. Video https://vimeo.com/82566728

At that time, another facet of the artist looked at the best raves of his country, VJ GORILLA, the alter ego night with the one used to recreate fantastic settings, trace times, manipulated illusion, movement, light and leave all your viewers impressed. Since 2009, VJ GORILLA was that touched the senses of many fans of electronic music found its varied visual themes to flow.

In 2014, Jose Carlos participated in the Mapping Festival in Geneva City - Switzerland, where the global art scene took aim at the fashionista environment; the workshops were all about clothing for walkways LED. Upon returning home, he presented The Light Soldiers, a combination of dancers moving choreography and interact with another running simultaneously through their suits with LED lights Madmapper wireless control.

The merit of Jose Carlos Reyna is in being self-taught, he established his creative bases at age 14, when empirically began to manipulate tools work of his father, who at the time was the art director of the leading newspaper in its country. From an early age, he entered the logic of software for graphic design and layout and discovered his passion for design; without imagining that was forming as a versatile artist.
