Unai Miquelajauregui is a Mexican artist and researcher working in the fields of film and intermedia. Before graduating from the MFA Film Production program at Concordia University, Unai studied Theatre Direction and Sound Design in Mexico City. His work combines research and creation into a mutually nourishing methodology, exploring human condition and aesthetic interpretation. His research focuses on experimental and expanded forms of cinema.

Unai is interested in new forms of cinematic creation by integrating interactivity and installation-based work with moving images. He looks at cinema as a social phenomenon in a world mediated by lenses, where social relationships are mediated through images. His artistic record includes music video, documentary and experimental short films. In his academic career he has worked as a researcher with professor Jean Claude Bustros at Schema Hypercinema Lab, looking at the convergence of film and new media in order to develop expanded non-conventional forms of cinematic languages. Currently Unai Miquelajauregui is the Resident Videographer at Matralab, Concordia University, Montreal.

During 2012 Unai directed and produced two short films which have been distributed in the film festival circuit: Un Mariage Chimique and Between the Lines. He has also worked in the sound design for several films including the feature documentary Dust: A Sculptor's Journey directed by Jeannette Pope, which was recently screened at the HotDocs Festival; the fiction short Born in Iran recently admitted in the World Film Festival; as well as the feature film Healing Winds about residential schools in the Inuit community.

Unai is also part of the collaborative, multidisciplinary and monumental installation project Conscientia, with Mexican artist Laura Hernandez. This work explores different stages of human consciousness, integrating sculpture, painting, music, video, 3D mapping projection, holographic projection and dance. The installation was recently presented at the collateral exhibitions of Havana's Art Biennial, Cuba, 2012.

His artistic practice addresses the spectator as a crucial piece of the aesthetic creation process. He has directed theatre plays that address spectators in non-conventional ways: El corazon a gas lacrimogeno (2003) and Los Invasores (2004). Fractalica was his first interdisciplinary installation piece, mixing double-exposure portrait photographies, sculpture, sound and video to create immersive environments. In Lakesh, a 3-channel-video installation was presented during The Hive exhibition in Montreal (2010). Unai's latest work Phantomaton is an interactive film installation embodying a photo booth. Phantomaton creates visual emergent narratives using the spectator as the main subject of its emerging visual narrative. Presented during the Nuit Blanche Montreal in 2013.
