Licenciado em Cinema e vídeo, Ivo Reis, visual artist, apresenta  ANIMATEK como o exoesqueleto de performance e pensamento criativo.  A sua linguagem compreende gêneros como o cinema sensorial, o vídeo mapping, cinema documental, a ficção e performance audiovisual.  A sua inspiração vem do fascínio pela luz, pela forma como ela se move e define no espaço, com nuances de temperatura, cor e sensações que viajam através do tempo e abrigam a memória.  No universo do cinema, audiovisual e novos mídias, evoluiu para aplicações práticas e multidisciplinares de contrastes, fusão e complemento. A recriação de imaginários imersivos, provém de experiências vividas com diferentes ligações culturais e geográficas,  num campo de visão transdisciplinar e intercultural.  É neste campo que as suas ideias ganham contornos de expressão, forma e mensagem. Assumem-se como ferramentas de interpretação e extensão transcultural, resultado da pesquisa etnográfica com a dinâmica de laboratório digital.
