Rafael Ski – Freeing Images in Dust:
Since 2010, Rafael Ski has been working with the tools of his time: the so-called
“cutting edge low technology”, using affordable, simple, and everyday electronic
components combined with advanced technologies such as facial recognition,
elaborate motion sensors, and intricate movements of digital particles. In this
sense, the Brazilian artist is always exploring the impact of new technologies on
our daily lives. Among the residencies and festivals participated in, two editions
of the digital art festival TADAEX in Tehran, Iran, stand out; in addition to three
editions of the artist residency “Interactivos?”, which took place in Spain and
England. Working with digital and interactive media, his artistic objective is not
limited by the technology itself: although Ski uses logical reasoning to create
interactive environments, he seeks to awaken the public, provoking reactions and
feelings that go far beyond the sphere of reason. Within this potentially cold and
rational environment, the artist seeks the humanization of technologies.
Rafael’s brought “Freeing Images in Dust”, one of his most attractive works of art
installations which is an interactive art installation piece that literally turns
participants into dust, using a few good ol’ fans, some LED sensors, and coding.
