Tupac Martir

Tupac Martir is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist whose work redefines the boundaries of lighting design, performative reality, and the integration of cutting-edge technology across music, theatre, fashion, opera, and immersive exhibitions. With over two decades of experience at the intersection of technology, science, and art, Tupac’s recent practice explores the creative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs), Virtual Reality (VR), and Virtual Production (VP). His pioneering projects, Unique and Cadence of Altered Illusions (CAI), which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the summer of 2026, seamlessly merge entertainment, media, and the visual arts. In both works, Tupac explores narrative technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extended Reality (XR), to enable real-time content adaptation in live performance. Cadence of Altered Illusions (CAI) is the culmination of a two-year collaboration with the European Union's Transmixr research project, contributing to the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extended Reality (XR) tools for digital media production and audience experiences. In 2024, Tupac received the Profile Award for Outstanding Achievement in Innovation for his lighting design on Find Your Eyes, the acclaimed work by British choreo-photolist Benji Reid. His expertise also extended to the Virtual Production team for Amazon Prime Video's Fallout, which received widespread critical acclaim and won two Primetime Emmy Awards in 2024.
