He developed through his artworks since the 1980s the ideas of Planetary Art and Technoromanticism.
Planetary Art is an art form which takes the Earth in its planetary dimension as its basis for artistic creation.
Technoromanticism is the theory of links between art and new technologies, within the context of the threats posed to Nature by technoscience and economic development.
Technoromanticism also seeks to analyse the return of the human body within technological arts, formulating the hypothesis that a technological society needs a corporeal rebalancing of perceptions.
