Since 2021, and after the abrupt end of Medialab Prado, Medialab has been hosted by the Center for Contemporary Creation Matadero. He also is the co-curator of the 5th Industrial Art Biennial in Istria (Croatia), together up with Italian curator Giulia Colletti (Castello di Rivoli, CURA Magazine).

With a background in communication studies, cultural production, and creative activism, his work revolves around unconventional communication and artist tactics, technological dreams/nightmares, planetary-scale infrastructures, and all the possible feedback loops between them since the early 2000s. His curatorial practice interrogates the entanglements between art and technology, exploring how these relationships can offer critical insights into the challenges of the modern world. Brusadin thus challenges conventional notions of what art can be, seeking to engage with topics that reflect the complexity of the contemporary digital landscape. His work helps cultivate a deeper understanding of the social, political, and cultural implications of technology.

In the past, he ran and curated several projects on the same topics, among which The Influencers festival, co-curated by artists Eva & Franco Mattes, and produced in collaboration with the CCCB Center of Contemporary Cuture of Barcelona (2004 - 2019).

Based in: Madrid, Spain
