Daniel Canogar

Daniel Canogar is a Spanish contemporary artist born in Madrid in 1964. He is known for his work at the intersection of art, technology, and science, exploring the relationship between humans and technology through multimedia installations. Canogar graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1985, and in 1989 moved to New York to continue his studies at the Pratt Institute, where he specialized in photography and video. In the 1990s, he began working in multimedia installations, using video projections and screens to create works that engaged the viewer in an interactive dialogue. Throughout his career, Canogar has exhibited his work in galleries and museums around the world, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Seville, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver in the United States. He has also worked on several public projects, such as the permanent installation "Wave" at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina. One of Canogar's best-known works is "Assault," a 2005 installation consisting of a giant LED screen suspended in the air, displaying a series of moving images taken from action film scenes. The work was exhibited in the group exhibition "Infinite Painting" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sofia in 2012. In addition to his work in the visual arts, Canogar has also taught at the European University of Madrid and collaborated with several technology companies on research and development projects. In 2014, he was awarded the Spanish National Prize for Electronic Art for his contributions to the discipline of digital art.
