xaxalxe (Lucía, b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher based in Brussels. She worked for four years as a researcher in computer science at UCLouvain before deciding to devote herself fully to her music and her artistic career. Her main practice is as a musician, under the name xaxalxe, creating sonic performances that weave generative melodic landscapes with short songs, using the GameBoy and artisan software accompanied by augmented voices. Her practice draws just as much from the detail-oriented system-building methodology stemming from her background in computer science academic research as it does from the collective DIY ethos of the queer punk scene, in which she is involved as a community organizer. Lucía’s recent focus on e-textiles and soft electronics represents a natural evolution of her work, combining her technical skills with a deep appreciation for tactile, handcrafted objects.
