Paulo Arraiano [b. 1977, Portugal] has a degree in Communication from ISCEM [Lisbon], and Visual Arts at Ar.Co – Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual [Lisbon]. Currently, he works as a visual artist, co-founder of re_act contemporary, an art laboratory and residence Programme based in the Azores Islands and of no.stereo, an independent artist-run platform. Paulo’s research relates to the idea of visual seismography, assessing surges concerning new natural, social and cultural paradigms. This artistic production interweaves with his research which involves matter and anti- matter, and engages the body, the landscape and technology to address questions concerning climate changes, biosphere, extinction, transhumanism and the anthropocene.
