Marcelo Soria-Rodríguez is an artist and strategist based in Madrid, Spain. Interested in the relationships that span any combination of humans and machines, the role of emotions and questioning established societal and cultural notions in the light of potential new intelligent species entering into our environment. He has exhibited globally, including at Art Singapore, Art Basel Hong Kong, Unit London and Kate Vass Galerie, participating in Bright Moments México City and Finale collections, Art Blocks Curated Series 6, publishing Contrapuntos, one of the highest acclaimed works on Tezos and fx(hash). He also co-founded Databeers, a movement for data literacy present in over 30 cities in ten countries. He has a background in engineering, innovation, strategy and fostering education.

For Cure3, Soria-Rodríguez has imagined bodies that represent what we are from the standpoint of what we know. By surrounding his figures in distorted and quantized space, he evokes all the circumstances in life that surround “pure existence,” in other words, what we are aside from our bodies. As we witness the birth of new forms of proto-consciousness, we are still forced to grapple with biologically derived circumstances that interfere with our own perceptions of selfhood and how our environments perceive us. If I am a combination of me and my circumstances, illness becomes a part of me. Yet the core me, which only I can apprehend, is always the same, worthy of the same chance at life.
