Graduating Student, Jorge A. Torrens
Jorge A. Torrens (Jorge Day) is a student at The New School Parsons Paris, MA Design & Curatorial Studies. His thesis subject is SAVING FACE: Technocratic Modernism’s Discourse on Architecture & Design through the Exhibition Jean ProuvĂ©, Industriel du Bâtiment at theMusĂ©e des Arts DĂ©coratifs, Paris, 1964.
His research focuses on the politics of space and bodies, including previous work exploring the concept of Digital Dysmorphia (technological mediation of self-concept and the complicated space between exhibitionism and documentation inherent in digital representation) and an artist 
research project entitled Roaming the Gaze which uses Google Maps as a means to subvert our understanding of place and re-determine the authentic experience in relation to modern methods of travel and of the commodification of cultural heritage on a global scale. Roaming the Gaze will appear on the upcoming platform “Casting Screens”, a digital exhibition space initiative by Klasse Digitale Grafik of HFBK Hamburg.
In 2018, as part of a collective project with other students from Parsons Paris, Jorge helped to develop Spectrum: Alternative Histories, a printed zine designed to open discourses that have been historically denied access within the museum.
After receiving the student research award in 2019, he is currently developing a printed exhibition on the iconography of police violence.
