I am associate professor at the school of cinema and television at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogota, Colombia in the field of art and new technologies. I hold a BSc. In Systems Engineering with a MSc. In the same field and currently I am conducting a Phd. In Art and Media (in experimental computer science) at the Academy of Arts and Media in Cologne, Germany. My doctoral project traces the history of collaboration in software culture. In my University I advocate for the open access to audiovisual information and I combine my teaching and research work with grassroots activists projects in alternative communication (radio and fanzines) and free culture.
