All Possible Rivers consists of a computational model that aims to anticipate the future geomorphology of the Rio Grande / Río Bravo and, with it, of the U.S.- Mexico border. Taking into account the physics that participate in the large-scale evolution of the river, the program generates speculative landscapes by simulating complex interactions between water and land in specific places and across geological temporalities.
Federico Pérez Villoro is an artist living and working in Mexico City. Through texts, installations, videos and mathematical resources, Federico explores the ways in which state, corporate and institutional power materializes through the strategic use of information technologies. His recent work addresses the industrialization of water as an example of the imposition of technical operativity upon living ecosystems. His work has been exhibited internationally and published by Luna Cornea, ADOCS, DELUS, The Serving Library, Printed Matter, C Magazine, Gato Negro Ediciones, diSONARE, and the Walker Art Center. Federico has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and California College of the Arts (CCA). He has lectured, runned workshops and acted as a guest critic at schools such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), New York University (NYU), ETH Zurich, Rutgers University, CalArts, and The New School. In 2019 he founded Materia Abierta, a summer school on theory, art, and technology in Mexico City.
