David Cuartielles,

!1974, Zaragoza, Spain. After finishing his MSc. in Telecommunications Engineering, dedicated a couple of years to work first as project manager and as development engineer at Infineon Semiconductors (Munich, Germany), later.

!The realization of "The Wake Interactive" in the summer 2000, a net.art project consisting of a web version to "Finnegans' Wake" - the classic by James Joyce- brought him to K3, the School of Arts and Communication located in Malmø, Sweden. There he became the head of the Mechatronics Laboratory, renamed to OneScaleOne Studio recently.

!Since August 2002 he also became a PhD Student and researcher dealing with the boundaries between Interaction Design and Art. His academic work focuses in analyzing embodiment, indoor location systems, and technologies for real time performances. His artistic work, mainly low-Fi interventions parodying his own field of research, brought him to the 8th Istanbul International Biennale in 2003, and to the 3rd Berlin Biennale during 2004.

!David is the founder of several initiatives: the Critical Design group "Aeswad" - active since 2002, the Labbs.net community - online since the summer 2002, the Digital Arts Collective "Desearch and Revelopment" - active since August 2003, the Experiments in Art and Technology SWEden/DENmark group - active since September 2003, and the media server Goldiaq - online since December 2004. Through these groups he got to organize workshops together with the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation - Germany, Interaction Design Institute Ivrea - Italy, Istanbul Technical University - Turkey, Zaragoza University - Spain, Aarhus University - Denmark, and Chalmers University - Sweden.

During 2005 David, together with M. Banzi and D. Mellis created the Open Hardware platform [Arduino], for which they have earned an Honorary Mention to the Ars Electronica Digital Community Prix 2006. Furthermore, he will curate the Electrolobby area of the Ars Electronica Festival 2006 with the subject "Make it Simple".
