Joaquín Mendoza Sebastián(Caracas, 1980), composer and multimedia artist.

Although his primary medium is sound, he likes to play with all that technology has to offer. Influenced by the aesthetic of montage, he combines analog and digital photography, digital manipulation, drawing, animation, web and video.

Throughout his music and sound work, he has explored the close(sometimes not so apparent) relationship between post-WWII avant-garde and popular music, with works ranging from abstract sound objects to experimental pop. His work has been performed in Venezuela, Spain and the United States.
