Present Tension examines what happens when presence becomes input for computation. In public space, to appear before a camera or sensor is to participate without being asked. A body can be targeted, anonymized, or transformed into sound and image. Carlos J. Gómez de Llarena approaches this condition through video installations and AI-assisted workflows, treating computer vision as part of a broader system of mediated perception where technologies of recognition move between control and play, violence and spectacle, disappearance and performance. Presented as part of the gallery's residency program.
