Lina Condes is the creator of the iSculpture, famous for her stick figure and emoji art. With a love of art and an eye for design, Condes fuses her talents to create beautiful pieces of art through both ART+Technology. Condes focuses on the creation of large scale, contemporary and interactive ARTificial intelligence “iSculptures”. Condes’ work displays attributes of minimalism, surrealism and pop art. Some of her works include a 16-foot iSculpture inspired by Zaha Hadid Architecture, which was created for Biennale di Venezia.
