Melissa Santamaría is a Mexican artist whose synaesthetic imagination comes to life through the infinite possibilities of generative art. Her work is a  blend of psychedelic colors, dynamic movement, and  textures that ebb and flow in harmony or contrast with sounds, architectural spaces, and emotions.

In just a few short years, Melissa's trajectory as an artist has skyrocketed by her mastery of programs like Touchdesigner and her innovative processes with playful experimentation. Her distinctive visual signature, characterized by a vibrant and otherworldly perspective on naturalistic elements, has graced the stages of a diverse range of musical acts, from Hiatus Kaiyote,  Flying Lotus, Kikagaku Moyo, etc.

Beyond her  live performances, Melissa also channels her creativity into illustration, design, and visual production for festivals, brands, and projects of all kinds.

Carolina Webb (1994) is a Mexican graphic designer and visual artist, born in Monterrey and based in Mexico City. She studied for a degree in industrial design where she developed an appreciation for the beauty of the objects that make up everyday life.

Her production takes place within the intersection between the sweet and the dark. She explores themes of pleasure, childhood, and interspecies relationships through a look of fantasy and longing.

She uses digital illustration, editorial design, photography and animation tools to result in a game that jumps between art and design and draws on both.
