Rafael Ski works with the tools of his time: the so-called "high-low technology", which roughly means accessible, simple and everyday electronic components combined with advanced technologies. The Brazilian artist has been exhibiting his artwork in several national and international galleries. Working with digital and interactive medias, his artistic goal is not circumscribed by technology itself: although Ski uses logical reasoning to create interactive environments, he seeks to arouse the audience, provoking reactions and feelings that go far beyond the sphere of reason.
