Francisco Barretto is a multimedia artist, creative coder, professor, and researcher who explores the intersection between artificial intelligence, creativity and computational art. His work seeks to reveal subtle and relevant aspects of how we represent and perceive ourselves, as well as to explore new interfaces for interacting with various digital algorithms. Barretto uses technology to explore the interconnection between humans and the natural world, and the interaction between the physical and the digital in his works, which include mapped projections, LED panels, and immersive environments. Barretto has exhibited a series of interactive artworks at various art festivals and exhibitions across Brazil for over 10 years. He performs with Micaelle Lages in a group called “the code.”
