With R.I.P. [Rest In Privacy], Filipe Vilas-Boas explores the consequences of the death of privacy. This installation subverts traditional funeral rituals to examine our relationship with our connected lives and the loss of all forms of intimacy resulting from constant surveillance and the exploitation of our personal data in the digital age.
An artist who humorously examines our hypermodern times, Filipe Vilas-Boas develops a satirical critique of the notion of technological progress while cultivating his own analog and digital poetry. His installations, videos, and performances blend AI and DIY, robotics and philosophy, sociology and literature, astronomy and music.
