Federico Cartas (México, b.1988) uses physics, technology and invention to create complex systems that explore sound, movement and light. With a profound interest in science, cinematography and music, he incorporates all three into his artistic practise. Often working with large scale sculpture and installation, he also exhibits smaller studies, drawings, painting and sculpture that are a bi-product of his kinetic interventions.

Working in collaboration with Jorge Galaviz, a professor at the U.N.A.M in Mexico City, his recent acoustic sculptures push the limits of how we listen to sound responding to his interest in sound quality, sound installation and enhancing the human hearing experience. His Meteorite series finds meteorites fallen in the deserts of the Americas: he positions these within high strength lasers to represent the tensions and movement, something also seen in his works on paper.
