In the Claudia Maté multiverse, the future is only ever a click away. The work of the Madrid-born, Paris-based creative is absurdist and surreal in the way that only internet art can be; encountering her work feels like embarking on a candy-coloured trip where imagination becomes reality. By incorporating 3D, programming, video and virtual reality elements into her practise, Maté has cultivated a singular aesthetic that bridges the gap between the real and the imagined.

Displaying a journey through multiple digital landscapes, Maté’s latest project, a video for Lenovo and Intel’s Make Space Network, is as bizarrely fun as the rest of her work. In the video, which features music composed by Carlos Saez and Xavier Pitarch, shots of larger-than-life mushrooms, dancing bears and futuristic space shuttles are intermixed with musings on creativity, making the film feel like a window into the artist’s own creative practice. “My process for this project was about connecting different creative worlds into a single system rather than telling a linear story,” said Maté. “I think it’s important to have a network that supports this way of working by keeping ideas open, fluid and interconnected.”

That sense of fluidity and exploration is also what Maté looks for in her own artistic partnerships. “I often find collaborations challenging because it’s hard to find people who truly align creatively, so having a network that prioritises shared perspectives over purely technical skills matters a lot to me,” she says.

Artistic partnerships are the very essence of the Make Space Network, which recently launched as a part of the larger Make Space platform. Designed to inspire collaboration, the network itself is a matchmaking tool that allows creatives to find each other. To join, users answer a set of questions before being paired with a potential creative partner. As meeting new people gets harder and creative work becomes more isolated, this tool connects creatives with real collaborators, human to human.

To find a collaborator of your own, sign up for the Make Space Network, and find someone who can help you bring your own ideas to life.
