Evru
(Barcelona, 1946) Lives and works in Barcelona.
One of the first digital artists in Spain. In 1968, the artist Albert Porta transformed himself into Zush and later, with the arrival of the new millennium, into Evru. In 1975, a scholarship from the Juan March Foundation allowed him to study holography at M.I.T., Boston. In the 1980s he began to apply digital technology to his work. His practice is based on a concept he has coined himself as PsicoManualDigital. He has exhibited his works in major retrospective shows, including The Art of Today Museum, Beijing (2007), MACBA (2001), or M.N.C.A.R.S (2000). In 1999, he won the Laus Prize for his piece Psicomanualdigital. He has work in the collections of the MoMA and the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
