Carlos Serrano captures the physical world with scans, photogrammetry and volumetric video, and rebuilds it as living, reactive systems for stages, domes and spaces.

Carlos Serrano is a Colombian media artist and technical director based in Berlin. Since co-founding the collective +PLAY ↗ in 2015, he has built real-time visuals and immersive environments for stages, domes, museums and brands.

His practice starts from the physical world. Photogrammetry, 3D scans and volumetric video become the raw material for generative, reactive systems that examine perception, memory and the machine's gaze. As Cayé he performs live A/V and creates fulldome and installation work; as Carlos Serrano he leads real-time pipelines and technical direction for studios and tours.

He has taught in the M.A. Media Spaces programme and gives TouchDesigner talks and workshops.
