UNGRDN is the opposite of a domesticated garden - a ruderal meadow where ideas are seeds, contamination is compost, and difference forms the loam. We seek mire over solid ground, latent entanglements over standard practices, fallow fields over cultivated monocultures.

“NastPlas is the artistic project of Fran Rodríguez Learte (A Coruña, 1979) and Natalia Molinos García (Vitoria, 1980). Currently based in Palencia, Spain, this duo has been creating for over 20 years. Their work focuses on visual experimentation with digital media (CGI, 3D, AI) and contemporary ceramics to explore imaginary forms transformed into images, animations, and sculptures.”
nastPlas“We investigate the expressive possibilities of emerging technologies to reinterpret the relationship between humanity and nature within the context of continuous scientific advancements. We believe that art and science must intertwine to expand the ways we perceive reality and connect with our environment.
Our practice explores concepts such as sustainability, identity, and innovation, addressing topics including the impact of technological evolution, representations of nature, intangible realities, and dystopian futures. Our creative process is grounded in the hybridization of advanced digital tools, such as CGI animation and Artificial Intelligence, with handcrafted techniques and traditional materials like ceramics, producing pieces where the digital and physical coexist and engage in dialogue.
Each work offers an opportunity to experiment with textures, forms, and patterns that not only reflect the complexity of the world we inhabit but also invite reflection on our role in its transformation and preservation. We aim not only to capture the beauty and fragility of nature but also to question the future we are constructing and how the organic and technological can coexist in harmony.”
