About the artist
Jon Rafman’s (born in Montreal in 1981) artistic practice illuminates the many intersections between physical and digital life. In his multifaceted media works, the Canadian artist examines how modern technologies and digital media affect contemporary consciousness. He studies online worlds and analyzes their vocabulary, which he carries over into his own video animations. In his works, he takes this language as his starting point, developing poetic narratives and dystopian environments that reflect critically on the ambivalent potential of the Internet and its influence on the present day.
