About Sebastian Morales : MORAKANA is a New York City-based studio founded by Tiri Kananuruk (Thailand) and Sebastián Morales Prado (Mexico). Our work is characterized by experimentation, development of custom tools, and scientific and artistic inquiry. By leveraging scientific principles and challenging the role of technology in our lives, MORAKANA invites us to think critically about plausible means for Nature to reclaim the physical and digital ecosystems we are part of.

We teach at the School for Poetic Computation (SFPC) and Collaborative Arts (NYU). Our work has been supported by CultureHub, Autodesk Pier 9, Mana Contemporary, Tropical Futures Institute and NEWINC among others.
