Electronic artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer develops large-scale interactive installations in public space, usually deploying new technologies and custom-made physical interfaces. Using robotics, projections, sound, internet, cell-phone links, sensors and other devices, his installations aim to provide "temporary antimonuments for alien agency".
His work has been shown in three dozen countries, including Biennials in Venice (Italy), Istanbul (Turkey), Havana (Cuba), Sydney (Australia), Liverpool (UK), Shanghai (China), Seoul (Korea), and Seville (Spain), and has been commissioned for events such as the Millennium Celebrations in Mexico City (1999), the Cultural Capital of Europe in Rotterdam (2001), the United Nations' World Summit of Cities in Lyon (2003), the opening of the Yamaguchi Centre for Art and Media in Japan (2003), the Expansion of the European Union in Dublin (2004) and the 40th Anniversary of the Tlatelolco Student Massacre in Mexico City (2008).
Lozano-Hemmer's works have received a Golden Nica, a distinction and two honourable mentions at the Prix Ars Electronica in Austria. He has also won two BAFTA (British Academy Awards for Interactive Art) in London, a distinction at the SFMOMA Webby Awards in San Francisco, "Artist / Performer of the year" at Wired Magazine's Rave Awards, a Rockefeller fellowship, the Trophée des Lumières in Lyon and an International Bauhaus Award in Dessau, Germany.
