Gabriel Francisco Lemos (b. 1988, Brazil; based in Berlin) is a multimedia artist, composer, educator, and researcher working at the intersection of sound, language, and technology in interdisciplinary contexts. His artistic practice spans performance, video, print, installation, lectures, and multimedia projects. He is particularly interested in the aesthetic possibilities and socio-political implications of technological mediation and generative systems in contemporary creative processes.
Since 2010, Lemos has been active in São Paulo's experimental music and art scene, presenting his work at the International Electroacoustic Biennale of São Paulo, FIESP, Novas Frequências Festival, Pinacoteca of São Paulo, VideoBrasil, and the SP Jewish Museum. Internationally, his work has been featured at events and exhibitions at Koffler Arts (Toronto), Galeria Pedro Cera (Lisboa), Whitechapel Art Night and Delfina Foundation (London), Gaudeamus Festival (Netherlands), Savvy-Documenta 14 and Cashmere Radio (Germany), Monaco Electroacoustique, and Peles International Drum Fest (Portugal). He has also collaborated with ensembles like the Percussion Group of the University of São Paulo (PIAP) and participated in projects with the GAIA team (Art and Artificial Intelligence Group) in partnership with the Center for Artificial Intelligence (C4AI/INOVA-USP), the Museu Paulista from USP and the MIT Open Documentary Lab.
Lemos's academic background includes research funded by FAPESP, DAAD, and CAPES. Currently pursuing a doctoral degree at the University of São Paulo (ECA-USP), he explores the use of neural networks for creative purposes, focusing on their epistemic and aesthetic impacts as well as their socio-political implications. His current artistic experiments involve neural synthesis in generative sound art and hybrid narrative formats that emphasize attention, connectivity, and ecological thinking.
As an educator, Lemos teaches electronic music composition, performance, creative processes, critical listening, and instrument design at institutions like Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology, and Hyperlinear, both in Berlin. He is also a passionate amateur mycologist, engaging in projects that explore fungi and network thinking as metaphors for connectivity in artistic practice.
