Welcome to my online portfolio.

My name is Adam Rafinski and I am a researcher, media philosopher, performance artist and curator.

My work focuses on the aesthetics of digital culture, the role and embodiment of the subject, playfulness in culture and art, the extended definition of game-playing (augmented game-play) and the issue of presence in performance art.

Since 2010 I have been a lecturer at the Media Art Department and the Institute for Postdigital Narratives of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG) and founder of their GameLab. I conduct classes on digital games and the culture of play.

Furthermore I am working as a researcher and consultant for the Center for Art and Media (ZKM) Karlsruhe. You may find out more about my work here.
