Luis Bernardo Guzmán

Artist, Researcher, and Curator at the Intersection of Art and Space Exploration

Luis Bernardo Guzmán is the founder of Radix-Lucis Studio, a space dedicated to integrating art, biotechnology, and space exploration. He is currently pursuing a PhD at Northumbria University Newcastle in the Space IDRT, where he explores the relationship between art and aerospace technology through the concept of technoplasticity.

His work has been presented at internationally renowned institutions and events, including Ars Electronica, London Design Fair, Saint Étienne Biennale du Design, Talbot Rice Gallery (UK), Biodesign Challenge at MoMA, and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chile. His work  have been collected internationally, iincluding by the Bernheim Foundation and curated by MIT Space Exploration Initiative. 

Guzmán has been recognized for his contributions to the intersection of art and science, receiving an award from the Robert Callender Foundation for his innovative approach to bio-art and environmental exploration.

He has developed two space borne art projects, developing bio-art and cultural exploration projects in microgravity. Currently, he serves as project leader and curator of the Moon Gallery lunar mission.

Guzmán's practice extends to the development of biological sculptures, creating self-sustaining systems that evolve over time. His theoretical work explores the plasticity of life in extreme environments, bridging art, philosophy, and astrobiology.

He is a member of Biofutures for Transplanetary Habitats (UK), Lateral Lab (UK), Cultural Negotiation of Science (UK), and the Space and Planetary Exploration Laboratory (CL), collaborating with scientists and artists to develop new forms of artistic expression in space.
