I am a pupil of the internet, my friends and Eyebeam, where i was Senior Fellow at the Production Lab (2002-2003, 2006–2008).
I work on the internet and in the street through a wide range of media and outputs to understand the spaces that emerge when information, property and power collide. I am specially interested in low and open technologies, fringe economies and copy cultures.
I am a fellow of FAT LAB , half Forays and also collaborate in groups focused on communication and infrastructure like Telecomix. I also spend way too much time blogging about the endless tension between intellectual property law and the culture of copy.
I have been resident artist at inCUBATE in Chicago, Timelab in Belgium and JA.Ca in Brazil (2010) and been one of the recipients of the Makers Muse Award 2011 of the Kindle Project.
My work has been shown internationally at collective exhibitions such as Interference, Feedback and Other Options in Eyebeam (NYC), Creative Times’s Democracy in America (NYC), Secret Project Robot (NYC), State of the Art: New York at URBIS Manchester (UK), Actions: What you can do with the city at Centre for Canadian Architecture (CA), G.R.L.| F.A.T. World Summit at CREAM (Japan) Los Impolíticos at Pan Pallazo delle Arti in Napoli (Italy), DEEP NORTH at Transmediale (Berlin), various Speed Shows and festivals such Piksel, Futuresonic, Pixelache, Conflux and Transitio.
