Miguel Novelo is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose work utilizes algorithmic cinema, game engine environments, and human computer interaction design. Novelo's research-based practice investigates non-human perspectives and speculative world-building, creating systems where audiences engage with geological change, animal cognition, and the liminal spaces between landscape and data. At Stanford University, he is a full-time Lecturer in Experimental Media Arts within the Department of Art & Art History and a Symbolic Systems program affiliate. He also serves as a Lecturer at SJSU’s CADRE Laboratory for New Media.
Novelo has exhibited nationally and internationally, with an upcoming solo exhibition at ICA San José in April 2026.
