In his video films and installations, the Canadian artist Jon Rafman explores the ‘social applications’ of digital media. His work investigates how the boundless possibilities of the internet and virtual platforms affect and redefine our behavior, social life and even personal identity.

Like a visual anthropologist, Jon Rafman (1981, Quebec) delves into the subcultures of the online world, analyzing the behavior of those who use these alternative, sometimes grotesque universes such as multiplayer video games and 3D virtual communities like Second Life.
