“Rafael’s work focuses on the social and societal position of the artist in the age of a so-called attention economy, and analyses the ambiguities of artistic labor in particular. Basing his practice on complicit intervention in digital circulation, he rejects the idea of originality and invention but appropriates strategies from social and an economy based on (self-exploitation). His work is collaborative by nature and ranges from YouTube videos that erase themselves while being played, to the production of ceramic objects.”
