ACC - Creative Network - Distrito Tec - Felipe Pantone

The Public Art Program (PAP) is an initiative of DistritoTec (a project led by the Tecnológico de Monterrey University - the largest University in Mexico) that aims to create bonds within the community through artistic experiences in public spaces across the city of Monterrey, located in the north of Mexico. This project has impacted the lives of approximately 20,000 people living in the DistritoTec area.

Felipe Pantone studied Arts in the UK and his interest has always been centered on public art. His work is focused on the dynamics of the virtual space, using the Internet as the main theme. In his work, he juxtaposes and even hybridizes artistic, scientific and electronic languages. 

Pantone takes up elements from Op Art, Kinetic Art, and formalism, mixed with elements of popular culture and morphs them into a hypermodern state. His aesthetics tend towards a formal synthesis leaving only allusions to the techno-urban stream like computational geometry and solid colors. Pantone directs our attention to the digital era and the increasing speed with which technology is developed.

"The most beautiful thing in art is not the finished piece, but the path to the result: the problems you face, the quest for solutions, the unknown factors, the mysteries and the street allows me to discover and appreciate this process better." - Felipe Pantone
