(* 1923 in Venice; † 2007 in Paris) studied at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires and be came a member of the Asociación Arte Concreto Invención in 1946. In 1955 he was one of the founders of the Asociación Arte Nuevo and in 1956 of Artistes Non Figuratifs Argentins. Together with his wife Martha Boto he moved to Paris in 1959. In the late fifties his interests led him to kinetic art and to the exploration of electronics, light and reflection. He made works consisting of superimposed plates of glass and plexiglass in different colours. A serial connection makes light sources, located in cubes beneath square white covers, light up in irregular intervals thus creating varying patterns of light, colour and shadow.
