Marc Lafia is a new media artist interested in systems and events, authoring machines, context and meaning. His work re-invents meaning or enunciation through rewriting forms. Lafia’s work emerges in the context of net art, in the condition that the network, new technologies and computation bring forward. For Lafia images are also thoughts as well as they are productions of inscription devices. In many of his works he uses computation and the network to create new regimes of the image, to shape new thoughts, new rhythms.
Lafia’s career as an artist began in the early 1980s in filmmaking. He is also photographer, curator, educator, essayist and information architect, as well as founder of artandculture.com, launched in 1999, which won numerous awards. His works which include commissioned films, online works in Java or Flash, and multi-screen computational installations，have been shown in the Walker Art Center, the Whitney Museum, Tate Online Intermedia Art, Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM, Karlsruhe Germany), NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC, Tokyo) and Centre Pompidou.
Marc Lafia was born in 1955. He resides now in Brooklyn, New York.
