RTIFICIAL a.k.a Armando Figueroa
RTIFICIAL is Armando Figueroa, a Motion Designer/Producer from Monterrey, MÉXICO.
From the Myspace Generation and being an early adopter of the social-digital scene, went from working with various Music Artists from the Death Metal / Death Core Scene as their Graphic Designer, then later transitioned to develop Art Direction skills to produce Music Videos and just any kind of online content that his vision led him to create.
He has released works under different names (FigueAlaskaAlaska, Mattafeller, MayhemTV and SindromeTV) and worked with several Production Agencies to create Video Artwork for big Channels such as MTV UK, and other National Brands that have been benefited from his skillset, as well as he has been working on a variety of disciplines including digital, lens-based projects such as Photography and Video, Sculptures and Art Direction for TV Commercials, Short films and Music Videos.
Being the chaotic nature of what is Video Production and the ups and downs that are always present in such discipline, he developed a more intense focus on learning 3D Animation since then it would grant him to be in absolute control of his vision on each and every single step of the process of producing every art piece, allowing him to realize that 3D Animation is the Ultimate Freedom he needed in order to unleash his maximum potential.
His practice draws from Science-Fiction and Futuristic Abstractism, and recently has applied such style into his most recent project, RTIFICIAL, by creating visuals that will further evolve into developing his latest 360o Virtual Worlds which are escorted with Acid Techno Music that recently he understood that he needed to acquire the skill of Music Production in order to achieve the ambience that each 360o Virtual experience requires.
He is determined into unearthing the wildest 360o Virtual Experiences that he can create, and developing new styles while adopting new technologies that will let him generate a sense of insanity on each and every person that let themselves and their senses go through his body of work.
