Federico Pérez Villoro is an artist and researcher living and working in Mexico City. Through texts, performances, and digital artifacts, Federico explores the operational capacities of images as they become data and the ways in which state, corporate and institutional authority is administered through computational technologies. His work has been exhibited internationally and published by Printed Matter, C Magazine, diSONARE, Gato Negro Ediciones and the Walker Art Center’s The Gradient. Federico has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design and California College of the Arts and lectured at schools such as Rutgers University, CalArts, The New School, UNAM, and Hongik University.
