Javier Durango

Javier Durango is a Colombian transmedial artist, creative technologist and performer based in London. He holds an MA in Material Futures from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, and an undergraduate degree in Design from Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá.
In 2021, he founded S.O.L. (Soma Observatory and Laboratory), an independent creative research platform exploring how objects, spaces, materials and technologies mediate our relationships with our bodies, shaping movement, perception, behaviour and connection. His practice brings together craft, performance, sensory technologies and speculative design to create multisensory experiences across physical and digital environments.
His work has been exhibited at Milan Design Week as part of Dropcity (Milan, 2026), Central Saint Martins' Material Futures Exhibition (London, 2025), M Street Exhibition (London, 2026), and most recently, Spoiled Propaganda: Grafting Bio-Futurism at Hypha Studios (London, 2026).
