Information / Short Bio



Alejandro Borsani (b. Argentina) is an artist and educator working at the intersection of art and technology. His practice brings together sculpture, electronics, computation, video and animation. His work examines how science and technology transform nature, knowledge and labor into objects of measurement, appropriation and control. Blending fact and fiction, he explores sites with contested histories and uncertain futures, creating poetic encounters that expose these systems and imagine alternative relationships among humans, technology and the natural world.

Borsani’s work has been presented in museums, galleries, festivals and conferences in more than a dozen countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Selected venues include ACM SIGGRAPH, Cairotronica, BIENALSUR, the Aesthetica Short Film Festival, ARTECH, Festival Internacional de la Imagen, the Lahore Design Summit and the Santa Fe International New Media Festival. His work has received support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Fundación Telefónica and the Santa Fe Art Institute.

Borsani currently serves as Dean of the Division of Experimental & Foundation Studies and is Associate Professor of Design at the Rhode Island School of Design.

He holds an MFA in Electronic Arts from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a BA in Audiovisual Design from the School of Architecture, Design and Urbanism at the University of Buenos Aires. 

He lives and works in Providence (US) and Buenos Aires (Argentina).
