Clara Harguindey

Hi! ☻ I'm Clara, a front-end developer with over five years of experience building digital projects. I work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, WordPress (custom theme development), and occasionally tinker with hardware technologies (Arduino/C++). I value clean code, testing, and scalability in all my projects.

In 2018 I co-founded Desmusea, a digital cultural mediation collective that uses technology to connect cultural institutions with people. I'm also part of Archivo Orsini, an online research space focused on philosophy, architecture, urbanism, and contemporary art.

Co-founder of Desmusea

2018 - present

Digital cultural mediation collective with Daniel Pecharromán.

We create conditions for meaningful encounters and dialogue. In a context of precarity and political disaffection, it's important to think critically about how we use technology. We understand cultural institutions as essential spaces for reflecting on contemporary technologies through artistic experimentation.

We have worked with institutions such as Museo Reina Sofía, Museo Nacional del Prado, Caixaforum, Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas, La Casa Encendida, Matadero Madrid, Museo Helga de Alvear, and Centro Cultural de España in Montevideo. We have also given talks at Artium, Tabakalera, and Medialab Prado.

We have been artists in residence at Matadero Madrid (2019-21), Quinta del Sordo (2024), and Centro Huarte (2024).
