Julianna and Ramiro have done 10 Art Takeover popup art and music events in various locations in Tenerife. This time it’s a Video Art Takeover in a new location: Equipo Para in downtown Santa Cruz. The following video and visual artists have participated in the event.
Video Artists:
- Javier Guillén, Isabel Rodríguez (@kimerarme): El Roce De La Nada, 2025.
Kimerarme is the co-creation of Javi and Isa, a couple and lovers of art and personal transformation.
This short film is an immersion in which Isa reflects on and experiments with who she is when she does nothing. It was thanks to the Hanbleceya vision quest retreat—where she spent 4 days alone in the forest without food, water, or personal belongings—that she was able to open herself to this and many other questions.

- Julio López Páramo: El baile del nuevo día, 2024
El baile del nuevo día is born from a love of cinema, with the sole purpose of enjoying the process of choreographing fragments of some of my favorite films through the power and beauty of music. In this case, Triana is the narrator telling this short story. - Peter Boldizsar (@deadmanzhand): 3 Escenas de Tenerife, 2025
Peter Boldizsar is a creative promo producer based in Tenerife.
This autumn it will be a year since I started creating an analog black-and-white photo series about Tenerife, and these videos serve as documentation. The interesting aspect is that the photographs are taken on infrared film, using an analog infrared filter. I also used this analog filter during the video documentation.
video - Desmond Cronin: Surrender, 2025
A former student of Chelsea Scool of Art and London College of Communication, Desmond has exhibited both locally and internationally, including the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition.
Ever get the feeling that things are changing too fast? Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and look at the long view. This video gives a brief overview of the digital technology shaping our lives, and how we got here. - Adren Strong: El Gusanillo, 2023
video - Margot Machado (margotmachado.com): Piche, 2023
Margot Machado is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher, with a focus on experimental and speculative fiction, interactivity, and the links between attention and affection.
This piece is a funny but unsettling reflection on the current state of the Canary Islands. Piche is the Canarian word for “tar”. In spite of boasting one of the biggest tourism industries of Spain, the Canary Islands are the territory with the highest extreme poverty rate in the country. Many islanders feel that within a few years their land will be nothing but tar and concrete, flooded as they are by construction projects that see the light of day via wobbly-at-best approval processes.
video - Tom Strong: Memorias de arte urbano en Tenerife, 2017
video - Zach Zimmerman, Michelle Morandotti: Cable News, 2017
Video made by Zach Zimmerman and Michelle Morandotti from found footage for Qoqo Roboqs track “Cable News”. Qoqo Roboqs is a group from Seattle.
video - Barbara Bakos (cargocollective.com/barbarabakos): Lady with Long Hair, 2012
Barbara graduated as an animation director at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest. She works as animation director, art director, and illustrator.
The film is about an old lady who relives her memories with her husband contained within her hair. “Lady with Long Hair” is a very personal film, inspired by my grandma. A sensitive film using traditional techniques to invoke a sense of longing and acceptance.
video - GöG (diemusikmaschine.de): Steampunk Music Machine, 2014
With his music machine, inventor and musician GöG blurs the musical boundaries between old and new, between man and machine. An old spinning wheel drives the beat, while 20 other original instruments are incorporated in the music machine, foot-driven by GöG, and complementing his main instruments, the Australian didgeridoo and the Indian sitar.
video - Teo Strong: Zap-a-tonic Grumpler, 2008
video - Tom Strong (tenerifestreetart.org/en/flow): Flow Art in Motion, 2025
I’ve been doing flow art for 5 years, mixing different fluids together to see what happens. I like the finished artwork, but I found it’s the process that mesmerizes me. This video gives a taste of the process and the forces at work (diffusion, surface tension, tip-splitting, viscous fingering, etc.). Some changes are instantaneous, some take hours. I hunt for new patterns that I haven’t seen before.
video - Adrián González Bravo (moreloproject.com): El reloj de cuco, 2024
This video is part of a project called Fragments of Cinema, created by the independent film studio Morelo Project. It’s a collection of videos that pay tribute to and reinterpret the history of cinema, by decontextualizing and combining fragments of films to give them new life.
video - fEO fliP (feoflip.com): Marielle Presente, 2021.
fEOfL!P’s work combines nature, robotics, history, symbology and recycling in the same cocktail with an acidic and bittersweet flavor seeking a balance between message and aesthetic. His path and relationship with graffiti began in the late 90s.
Report on creating a mural in Rio de Janeiro in 2021, dedicated to Marielle Franco. Marielle Franco was shot dead in Rio de Janeiro. Mother, feminist and sociologist, defender of Afro-descendant women, she dedicated her life to the defense of human rights and the denunciation of violent actions in the popular sectors of Brazil.
