Rafaël Rozendaal is a Dutch-Brazilian visual artist who uses the internet as his canvas. Since 2001, he has been making website-as-art objects. Rozendaal’s artistic practice comprises animations, websites, installations, tapestries, prints and writing. His work takes shape through a range of transformations – from movement into abstraction, from virtual into physical space, and from website to print – with all of them informing each other. All of his works stem from a fascination with moving images and interactivity in its most basic form. Although Rozendaal is best known for his artworks in the form of websites, he sees no hierarchy between his websites and physical works, also creating installations, tapestries, lenticulars, books, and lectures. Rozendaal is also the founder of the exhibition concept Bring Your Own Beamer, an evening where artists bring their own projectors to display their digital work.
