BIO Daniel Canogar

Born in Madrid (1964) to a Spanish father and an American mother, Daniel Canogar´s life and career have bridged Spain and the U.S.. Photography was his earliest medium of choice, receiving an M.A. from NYU and the International Center for photography in 1990, but he soon became interested in the possibilities of the projected image and installation art.

He has created permanent public art installations with flexible and rigid LED screens, including Aqueous at The Sobrato Organization (Mountain View, CA, 2019); Pulse, at Zachry Engineering Education Complex in Texas A&M University (College Station, TX, 2018); Tendril for Tampa International Airport (Tampa, FL, 2017) and Cannula, Xylem and Gust II at BBVA Bank Headquarters (Madrid, 2018).

Also part of the series is Storming Times Square, screened on 47 of the LED billboards in Times Square (New York, NY, 2014).
