Hello!
I’m José Vega-Cebrián, also known as Sejo. I’m an ITP First Year student and I come from Mexico City. I am the director and co-founder of Escenaconsejo, performing arts and interactive digital media company. I have a degree in Electronics Engineering from the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Ciudad de México (I mention it because it’s the best private university in Mexico, and it’s interesting to be now in one of the best private universities in the US). I also started to study Choreography in the National School of Classical and Contemporary Dance, but I dropped out in order to formally start with my company. I’m very interested in the possible relationships between choreographic composition and computation.
During the last two and a half years I was a high school teacher in the International Baccalaureate department of the same school I went to, teaching the Computer Science course. I was also part of the Design, Art and Technology department. I really like to share what I know and I have experienced, not only in terms of information but also in terms of life attitudes (hard work, determination, curiosity, self-motivation…). As a student and as a teacher I had many conflicts with the education system, because I felt that it actually discouraged learning and/or the excitement that should/could come with it. I believe that we all can do something about it. I’m also interested in the possible relationships between this and my artistic practice.
I’m very excited to start this course with you all!
José (Sejo)
