Gabriel Massan

Gabriel Massan (b.1996 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary digital artist. Combining storytelling and world-building techniques, Massan creates worlds and digital sculptures that alternatively simulate and narrate situations of inequality within the Black-Indigenous Latin American experience. Across 3D animation, digital sculpting and painting, single-player games, NFT’s, virtual and augmented reality experiences, the former video artist investigates notions of strangeness and ignorance regarding the imaginary of the ‘Third World’. Gabriel was a 2019 resident at the ETOPIA – Center for Art & Technology, invited artist of the 2020 “IMS Convida” at the Instituto Moreira Salles (IMS), Circa x Dazed ‘Class of 2021’ Selected Artist, contributor of the “Rotten TV” online research platform supported by “The British Council Digital Collaboration Fund”, and is the 2022-23 Serpentine Arts Technologies Digital Commission artist.
