Her practice explores the shifting relationship between humans and machines in a context in which both entities begin to share processes of perception, memory, and world-building. Through experimentation with image, code, and artificial intelligence, Gallego investigates the mode of existence of digital objects, paying particular attention to the face as a space of recognition.
In her projects, images cease to function as stable representations and instead become active matter: they circulate, compress, and are reinterpreted by technical systems. Between the intimate and the computational, her work tensions the boundary between face and algorithm, proposing a perspective in which technology does not appear as an external tool, but as an agent with which we coexist and through which we continuously redefine who we are.
