Mikel Otxoteko. Artist, researcher, and UNIR Master’s professor
He develops artistic research projects at the intersection of experimental anthropology and image-making media. His doctoral thesis Audiovisual Arts and Neo-materialism (UPV/EHU) received international distinction and included an invitation from filmmaker Manuel DeLanda as a visiting researcher at Pratt Institute (New York).
He has exhibited his work at institutions such as the Musée d’Art Contemporain Les Abattoirs (Toulouse), Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporánea (Valencia), The Rag Factory (London), San Telmo Museoa, and Centro Cultural Montehermoso (Basque Country), and has undertaken research residencies in Newfoundland, Puerto Rico, and Bakersfield. His film Invierno (2019) was screened at festivals including Cinespaña and Zinebi.
He will soon present a solo exhibition at MUNTREF, Museum of Immigration and Contemporary Art Center (Buenos Aires, Argentina), as part of the EAZ/EZE program.

Under the roof of Ligne Verte, a selection of vegetables is produced for domestic consumption in the Saint-Pierre et Miquelon archipelago. The facilities ensure that the vegetables can develop optimally with programmed light cycles and chemically enriched drip irrigation. Meanwhile, vertical panels support the entire production without the need for solid substrate. This pioneering initiative is able to produce fresh produce all year round in a self-sufficient way and independently of geological, light and weather conditions.
