Icaro Zorbar (1977) is a colombian artist who works with machines, songs, sounds and projections. A big part of his work is of a performative character; using cassette tapes, fans, records, music boxes, etc., sometimes his presence among machines takes on the form of “assisted installations”. Icaro holds an MFA from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. He has shown in Buenos Aires’ Museum of Contemporary Art, performance festival Verbo in Sao Paulo, New York’s younger than Jesus exhibition at the New Museum of N.Y., and the Beijing Biennale. Zorbar currently lives and works  in Bogota, Colombia with his girlfriend and his cat.

“I work with machines, sounds and projections in circumstances that relate to sentiments between people. This is what really inspires me. I intervene, give voice, a fate, I propose conversations, formulate encounters and separations. I seek to deploy and enhance the fragility of certain connections in which I find a constant tension. I find that disillusionment in the face of a technological reality is important in that it evidences human nature and everyday life.”
