Currently based in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal, Canada, Francisco Gonzalez-Rosas is a performance and new media artist born in Chile. They hold a Master in Fine Arts in Intermedia, from Concordia University, Montreal, and a BA in Acting from Finis Terrae University, Santiago, Chile. Their work has been presented internationally.
Through performance, sound, video, and digital media, my work explores existing and speculative crossovers between the body and technology. My practice draws inspiration from the surfeit of imagery and representation of the self that exists within digital networks. Through a process of hyper-self-mediation, I aim to connect aspects of identity to history and larger social cultural structures. Likewise, my work emphasizes the performativity of image-making and digital media in its entanglement with contemporary western society and use of technology.
