Mario Tarragó
Original idea, direction, design, and work on paper.
(1971). Since childhood, at 7 years old, he goes with a brush in hand and moves among colors and shapes that begin to draw his imagination and artistic talent. His passion for art keeps growing, and in 1988, he starts studying illustration at the Pau Gargallo school. In 1993, together with other artists, he founded the artistic creation studio L’estudi, where in a creative environment, he matures his intuition and expressiveness as a plastic artist. Strongly influenced by expressionism, his tone of voice changes when he speaks of Tamayo, Picasso, the muted atmospheres of Edward Hopper, or the dreamlike world of Balthus. Throughout his career, Mario Tarragó has held dozens of exhibitions, both individual and collective, such as “Lágrimas negras” at the Casa de Cultura, Formentera, in 2003, or “Tiempos Modernos” at Galería Plataforma, Barcelona. As intuitive as attentive to technical error, Mario reinvents himself with each brushstroke and each project, as in this Lovyu experience.
Xavi Vinaixa
Artificial Intelligence, development, and digital programming.
Xavier Vinaixa Roselló (1983). He is a computer scientist with almost twenty years of experience. Driven by great curiosity and passion in everything he does, his career has specialized in the development of applications that amount to a total of 40 million downloads, the processing of massive data, and machine learning. He is the founder of BestFreeWiFi.com and Broomx Technologies, the first and only virtual reality projector in the world. His disseminating spirit has led him to give talks, lectures, and participate in round tables on machine learning. He currently has a section on public television where he talks about what he himself considers the misnamed artificial intelligence. He has participated in various artistic projects for different events and festivals such as Sónar or KeyFrame in Barcelona. Xavi is naturally curious, which has led him to be part of music groups that have toured throughout Spain or even create his own craft beer brand BrewByCode, with which he won the gold medal at BBF2019.
Josep Sebastià (Lagarto)
Construction design and assembly.
(1970). Otherwise known as Lagarto, he began his career as a set and structure builder within the framework of the theater company Cia Sarruga. Traveling the world, he deepens in this specialty, which later leads him to work for advertising and cinema. In 2007, he founded, along with other colleagues, the Cia Discípulos de Morales, where they design, build, and direct various street theater shows such as Pakonstein and Bosco, viaje al Infierno. In 2008, he founded his own workshop, El Taller del Lagarto, from which hundreds of scenographies, fictions, sets to dress all kinds of shows, festivals, and audiovisual products would come out. For example, in 2010, on the occasion of Badalona Capital de la Cultura Catalana, he was commissioned with the artistic and technical direction, as well as the production and construction of the scenography for the show SPECULUM.
