Noe Naranjo Arias operates within the unstable architecture of the digital, where the computer ceases to be mere technology and instead assumes the role of speculative consciousness. Their practice is one in which identity is unmoored from physicality, and subjectivity dissolves into a continuous negotiation between human presence and machinic process.
Arias’s practice therefore extends into the speculative “third space,” a metaphysical topology where the immaterial assumes the gravity of the tangible, and the tangible is revealed as unstable, porous, and always already virtual. Where the boundaries between flesh and pixel are neither fixed nor oppositional but rather recursive. Their work stages a dialogue not between binaries, but through their collapse: material and immaterial, individual and collective, presence and disappearance, reality and its simulated double.
They are working on their Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Digital Media and Art at San Jose State University with an expected graduation date of Fall 2026. They live in San Jose California.
