Pedro Gomez-Egaña was born in Colombia and currently live and work in Oslo, Norway. He studied visual arts, performance, and music composition at Goldsmiths College and the Bergen National Academy of Arts, and earned a PhD in visual arts from the University of Bergen in 2012. Gomez-Egaña is a professor of sculpture and installation at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
His practice could be described as a response to a world defined by intense, conflicting, and seemingly irreconcilable temporal dimensions. These include media saturation, geological transformation, algorithmic immediacy, 24/7 labor culture, military urgency, and the spectacle of political cycles, among others. Gomez-Egaña has developed a range of research projects that explore technology, affect, literature, media culture, and economies of attention in collaboration with institutions such as the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Goldsmiths College London, Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, The Laban Centre in London, and Universidad Nacional de Colombia. His practice is grounded in ongoing critical dialogue and collaboration with professionals across cultural theory, dance, music, literature, and philosophy.
