Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg are co-founders of MONAD Studio, a design and art research practice with focus in the creation of 3D-printed sonic sculptures, art installations and experimental architecture. 

They are both graduates from Columbia University – New York MSAAD program with the degree of Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design.

Goldemberg is Associate Professor at Florida International University in Miami and Director of London’s Architectural Association Visiting Program in Miami; he is the author of the book “Pulsation in Architecture” which highlights spatial perception related to rhythmic affect. 

The work of MONAD Studio has been published by New York Times, BBC, The Guardian, Corriere della Sera, Libération, CNBC, FOX News, Forbes, Robb Report, Art Daily, Los Angeles Times, Architectural Design UK, Architectural Record among others.

MONAD Studio's ground-breaking 3D-printed installations and music instruments have been exhibited recently at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale; at MoMA, Javits Center, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Metropolitan Gallery (New York); Cosmo Caixa (Barcelona); Mies van der Rohe’s Tugendhat Villa Museum in Brno and Galerie Jaroslava Fragnera in Prague (Czech Republic); Geek Picnic Technology Festivals in Moscow and Saint Petersburg (Russia); Jewish Museum of Florida, Diana Lowenstein Gallery, New World Symphony, South Florida Art Center, Now Contemoporary Art (Miami).

The artistic creations of MONAD Studio are inextricably connected with the very fabric of the rhythmic sensibility of Miami’s unique blend of culture and natural exuberance. Their sonic sculptures resonate both with the innate lively musical expression of Floridians and with their natural environment, often resulting in enigmatic objects inspired by the formal complexity of swampy mangroves, strangler fig trees and alien-looking coral reef creatures, all executed with the biomorphic precision of industrial design robotics and the organizational, collaborative hive-mind of architects, artists, luthiers and musicians.

These exotic music instruments propose a prosthetic integration with the human body whereby the human limbs and the web of parts of the 3D printed artifacts form a visceral entanglement, a seamless visionary integration of both human and natural domains aided by digital technology and sonic experimentation.

MONAD Studio believes in the power of rhythm as the pulsatile force informing all manifestations of life, representing the extension of our perceptual rhythmic capacity as well as the natural rhythms and cycles that allow us to breathe, walk, talk, and procreate while developing empathy with all sorts of rhythms outside of our body. The pulse of our own psyche and the surrounding rhythmic forms of Miami’s lush natural environment represent the context that relentlessly informs the pulsatile morphologies and the futuristic expression of MONAD’s sonic sculptures.
