Isaías de Jesús Herrera Ibarra (1989, Monterrey, Mexico) is a multimedia artist who works with sound and programming to answer the questions: What does it mean to be alive? and How can I keep something alive? His work interest is focused on the creative, interactive and aesthetic possibilities that arise from the intersection between sound, web programming, artificial intelligence and microcomputers. He was a beneficiary of the EFCA 2019 and 2021 of Conarte and selected by the Center for Digital Culture in the call "Creations with algorithms: visualization and sonification of data 2020". As part of the Zoonoros collective, made up of cellist Maricarmen Graue and writer Edgar Lacolz, his work has been presented at the Other Territories (Inclusive Performing Arts) meeting, in Bucareli 69 Casa de Artes and on the sound saturdays of the Herder Bookstore. He is currently pursuing a master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction at the Università degli Studi di Trento, in Italy. In addition, he has taken classes with the composers Julio Estrada, Marcelo Toledo and Iván Naranjo, and with the sound artists Manuel Rocha Iturbide, Hugo Solís, Rogelio Sosa and Arcángelo Constantini.
Isaías Herrera and José Carlos Seguin are the creators of Pla: Mexican sound project that integrates different musical genres, sounds of everyday life and sounds produced by ‘The Implacable’ (software configured by Isaías to generate MIDI sounds with body movement).
Pla has two studio albums, ‘Desierto Eléctrico’ (2017) and ‘La Pirotecnia’ (2018). Both are an incandescent experience and rich in sounds that mix randomness, technology and creativity. In their lyrics they explore topics such as nature, chaos, death and transcendence.
Since 2016, the project has integrated the participation of visual artists, free software programmers, illustrators and other Mexican creatives who have added their artistic sensibility.
