Victor Morales is an international artist based in New York City since 1991. He holds a Master’s degree in Technology Applied to the Arts from New York University’s Gallatin Division. He is a director, performer and designer, whose work includes video animation and game design, text, sound design, puppetry, and movement. Since 2003, he has been obsessed with the art of video game modifications and has implemented different game engines into most of the works he has participated in or created. Since 2001, he has been collaborating with designer, performer and director Joseph Silovsky, producing several performance works in New York; their most recent project, the critically­-acclaimed Send For The Million Men, was shown at HERE Arts Center in 2014. Morales has worked with many luminaries of international performance, including Chris Kondek, Findlay/Sandsmark, and The Wooster Group. He was Artist in Residence at the Festspielhaus St. Pölten, Austria (2009­/2010). His solo work consists of an exploration of video game engines as simulation environments, where death and physics are transformed into dramatic and comedic real­-time performance. He has performed his solo shows at Performance Space 122 and Little Theater in Manhattan; The Collapsable Hole in Brooklyn; Gessner Allee in Zurich; Theater Freiburg and The Hau in Berlin.
