Barrios's work explores the nuanced confluence of human behavior, the digital realm, and the emergent field of brain-computer interfaces, challenging pre-existing assumptions about free will and technological determinism. He leverages his theoretical knowledge of behavioral economics to dissect the subtle ways in which digital environments shape our decisions, most of the time unconsciously. Inspired by the immersive nature of gaming, Barrios's designs serve as conceptual prototypes questioning and outlining potential futures where technology mediates — and potentially manipulates — our choices through advanced neural monitoring. These speculative explorations are framed by a deep-seated awareness of the narrative traditions native to his origins. This cultural heritage infuses his work with a concern for the human element, ensuring his design critique extends beyond the technological. Barrios's central question is, do advancements and their accompanying systems, provide a new era of cognitive liberation, or, subtly reinforce existing power structures through engineered consent? He meticulously crafts each thought experiment to provoke contemplation on the ethics of neuro-technological influence, prompting individuals to confront their own potential vulnerabilities within increasingly mediated realities. The goal is never to offer definitive answers, instead, to initiate a crucial internal dialogue about the future of human agency in the digital age.
