38. Natasha Lopez de Victoria

​If you're a Miami scenester, you might already know Natasha Lopez de Victoria and not even realize it. Those trippy, colorful, pseudo-retro visuals you encountered at Poplife parties at then-PS14 and White Room circa 2008? That was her manning the VJ deck. The recent Robothands-directed Panic Bomber music video that looks like it was filtered through a Lomo camera? You can glean her dancing away inside of an oyster in a magical underwater land.

But that's just the tip of the neon, glittery iceberg. The youngest sibling comprising TM Sisters,

Natasha fuses performance art, large-scale installations, dance,

videos, music, and, sometimes even roller skating (she happens to be a

talented speed skater) to create ambitious commentary on Miami-centric

issues and pop culture along with her sister Monica.

A graduate of New World School of the Arts with a degree in Electronic Intermedia, she's been featured alongside Monica in the New York Times, Vogue Italia, and on the cover of ARTnews

as one of its "25 Trendsetters" in 2007. Her work has appeared in

biennales in New York and Moscow, as well as in gallery shows in Miami.

Recently, she was accepted into LegalArt, Miami's very own (finally!) live/work residence for artists located downtown.
