Books
Olluquito Con Charqui graphic novel in collaboration with visual artist Sebastian Burga[10]
El Principito: A Bookigami. Aburto has collaborated with Editorial Planeta, specifically under the Planeta Junior and Paidós imprints in Latin America, to launch his Bookigami[11] line. He is credited as the creator of the concept and paper engineering for this specific edition of The Little Prince[12] treated as an Interactive Object. Aburto designed the measurements and folding guides so that, as you read the story, you follow his instructions to transform the book into a sculpture. He aimed to merge his background in experimental poetry with accessible craft, allowing the reader to literally "build" the story's world as they progress through the text. Other titles in the Series include Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, and The Art of War.
Awards
In 2010, he won the Espacio Abierto award for his work in collaboration with visual artist Sebastian Burga, named "Los Palcos Del Descubridor"[13]. The work simulated the upcoming construction of an apartment building to replace Lima's Teatro Colón, a historic landmark.
In 2002, he won the Fulbright AIG Scholarship.
In 1999, he won the 1st prize in the Adobe Poetry National Awards for his work "Abrúmate suspiro". It was directed to youth (most contestants were between 16 and 22 years old), hoping to get published. The award was a local initiative by Adobe's Peruvian subsidiary in the years 1998–2002, and was tied to the 1990s boom of tech companies sponsoring "traditional" culture to build brand prestige, a trend that moved to the web shortly after.
Education
He has a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from PUCP and a Master of Arts in Interactive Media Arts from NYU.
