Citlali Hernandez

Citlali is a Mexican product designer and multidisciplinary artist based in Barcelona, actively involved in teaching and research across various academic institutions. Their work specializes in interaction design applied to creative projects with electronics and physical interfaces, as well as digital fabrication processes such as CAD/CAM, CNC machining, laser cutting, 3D printing, and scanning. As an educator, they integrate artistic practice with research, encouraging students to explore how bodily experience and materiality shape interaction design, particularly in fields like applied interaction, digital art, creative coding, and fabrication. Their artistic practice revolves around the question “What is the body?” approached from a transdisciplinary perspective, exploring embodiment and technology through performance, installations, and custom open-source electronics. Their work has been exhibited in Mexico, Spain, Norway, the Netherlands, and Chile. They are an active member of Toplap Barcelona, where they engage in live coding visuals with P5LIVE and Hydra. Citlali is also the co-founder of Axolot.cat, a collective and studio focused on research and artistic practices, where they coordinate cultural projects such as *Híbrides: Small Embodied Data* (2024).
