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.
