Rafael Frazão - Artista visual, investigador y videomaker
Visual artist and videomaker, Brazilian based in Barcelona, works for more than 10 years
with audiovisual language in different projects. With his production company in São
Paulo he has done many documentary flms and hypermedia projects, mainly around the
intersection between art, technology and human rights. His artistic production uses
experimental video and new media to deal with themes around extra-human
cosmopolitics, multi-species studies, amerindian thought and the philosophy of the
image. He constantly collaborates with projects in performing arts, workshops and
artistic practices sharing. He is currently a resident artist at La Escocesa, creation factory, in Barcelona.
