ARTEFACTO 2020

Jeffrey Shaw is one of the three confirmed speakers for Artefacto 2020.

On the 26th and 27th of November, the second edition of Artefacto, organized by Ciac, hosted by the University of Algarve, welcome the Australian visual artist Jeffrey Shaw, a leading figure in new media art who, since the late ’60s, has pioneered the use of digital media technologies in the fields of virtual and augmented reality, immersive visualization environments, navigable cinematic systems and interactive narrative.
His seminal exploration of new technologies such as computers and interactive interfaces allowed Shaw to introduce new operational and aesthetic dimensions into contemporary art that have profoundly influenced generations of media artists.
