On the other side (2021), the visual is a sequence of moving images that we slowly approach. Marisa González plunges us into a maelstrom, inviting us to reflect on the place: a ¿non-landscape¿ hyper-speed landscape, a space we move towards with no known destination. This movement, in which our eyes are drawn to the central focal point, becomes a hypnotic one-way journey, a psychedelic super-sized road trip. This vision of the archaeology of perception makes us think of the rotating discs of Marcel Duchamp¿s Anémic Cinéma, but at the same time it suggests a connection to a specific layer of art history. Marisa González is fascinated by the possibilities of a new technology she has not worked with before. It is a primitive relationship with LED light programming, a test of the potential of a new series of work.

Marisa González sees technology as a means of expanding her vocabulary. The artist has developed a corpus in which she explores the relationship between gender, the social, the identity and the body in connection with new media.

Marisa González (Bilbao, 1943) has a BA in Music from the Bilbao Conservatory, a BFA from the Complutense University of Madrid (1971), an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1973) and a BFA from the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design, Washington, D.C. (1976). She occasionally teaches at the Contemporary Art Workshop of the Madrid Círculo de Bellas Artes and the MA in Communication programme at the Information Sciences Faculty of the Complutense University of Madrid. A multidisciplinary artist, she was a pioneer in the application of new technology to art. 

She publishes articles and gives workshops, lectures, seminars and conferences on new technology, art and gender. González has participated in more than 60 solo and 150 group exhibitions. She had a retrospective at Tabacalera, Madrid, in 2015 and another at the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (CGAC) in 2016. Her project Ellas filipinas was exhibited in the Central at the Architecture Exhibition of the 2012 Venice Biennale. Some of her most important exhibitions have been La Central Nuclear de Lemoniz (2004) at Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Caja de Burgos (CAB); La Fábrica at Fundación Telefónica, Madrid (2000) and Sala Rekalde, Bilbao (2001); and the shows at Galería Freijo, Madrid, and Sala Amós Salvador, Logroño (2019).
