Multidisciplinary creator, he is one of the most outstanding figures in the international field of electronic art and scenic experimentation. In the eighties, he was founder and leader of the company La Fura dels Baus, which popularized action theater. Since the 1990s, he has focused on research closer to the visual arts, video and interaction with technology. Antúnez has created an iconoclastic universe based on the incorporation of computational and electronic systems. His mechatronic performances and interactive installations incorporate robots and all kinds of electronic systems, often applied to the human body, designated as Sistematurgia. He has also produced graphic work that incorporates unusual materials such as human fluids or food, and textual and visual elements, with the technique of collage and improvisation. Among his exhibitions and performances, those held at MACBA in Barcelona (1999), Institute of Contemporary Arts in London (2000), Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris (2004), Digital Art Festival in Tokyo (2016) or Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona (2014), among many others, stand out. In 2010 he started a long-term project he calls Arsenale delle Apparizioni, which includes performances and films presented at the Festival de Cinema Fantàstic de Sitges (2011) or at the Festival Grec de Barcelona (2012).
