In this video we visit the studio of Moises Sanabria on the occasion of the Open Studio event at the Bakehouse Art Complex during Miami Art Week 2025. Moises Sanabria (born August 6, 1990) is a Venezuelan-born, Miami-based interdisciplinary artist renowned for his Post-internet sculptures, new media installations, software development, curating, and publishing. Raised in Venezuela before relocating to Miami, Sanabria grew up during the rise of the digital age, developing a deep interest in technology's impact on human experience. Largely self-taught in art, he explored digital mediums and meme culture through online communities. He studied at the New World School of the Arts (2009–2011), the School for Poetic Computation (2013), and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Cooper Union in New York (2015). Additional training included Gene Kogan's "The Neural Aesthetic" at the School of Machines in Berlin and programs at the Knight Foundation Art + Research Center.
Sanabria's practice blends humor, satire, and critique, merging academic aesthetics with internet meme culture. His works investigate memory, value, identity, and technological advancement using AI, live-streaming, video, and installations. Notable pieces include "5 Million Dollars 1 Terabyte" (a hard drive containing pirated software worth $5 million), "VR Hug" (a photograph of two people in VR headsets embracing), and "McDonald Brass Knuckles" (brass knuckles shaped like the McDonald's logo).
He co-founded the AI media channel AI24 and was a member of the digital art collective ART404. His work debuted internationally in 2012 at Transmediale in Berlin and has since been exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami (2015), Kunsthalle Giessen (2018), Untitled Art Fair Miami (2022), and HODLER Gallery (2023). Sanabria's projects have garnered press in Rhizome, Wired, The Guardian, and Forbes. In 2012, he received a Webby Award for "Social Weird - Sad Tweets," cementing his influence in digital art and media critique.
