Robbie Cooper is a UK based 3D artist and programmer who's practice deals with issues around presence and identity in a technological landscape

To develop the Immersion project, he recorded over a period of four years the expressions of numerous people of all ages immersed in digital media, focusing on the emotive facial and body expressions they made while playing video games, watching videos of all kinds, or using the internet. These recordings are then shown in a video installation that, when watched by the public, creates a dual feedback: the protagonists of the videos react intensely to the images they see on the screen and, at the same time, the visitors react with their own feelings to their gestures and grimaces.

At L.E.V. Matadero, Cooper will premiere an extended version of the project exclusively for the festival.
