Biography

Manuel Tangir Farrés

VJ · Audiovisual director & artist

VJ Manu Tangir running live visuals at the console

VJ, audiovisual director and artist. He began training in Audiovisual Arts at UNA in 2007, started working with screens and multimedia content in 2009 and established himself as a professional VJ in 2011.

Today his focus is the audiovisual direction of large-scale shows, balancing artistic creativity and technical solutions to deliver high-impact experiences for artists, production companies and brands. In every show he conceives and articulates its structure, mechanics, universe and symbols together with each artist, so their identity comes alive on screen.

Beyond live visuals, he works as a filmmaker, editor and end-to-end producer with his own cameras, lighting and sound gear, and creates AI-driven content.

In his authorial work and in many of his projects there is a central interest in Latin American and Argentine popular culture and its meeting with the high arts. Tango, cumbia, folklore and neighborhood devotion converse with opera, theatre, dance and video art, carrying languages back and forth between both worlds, drawing on a deep knowledge of Latin American cultural history.
