Communicator and artist-researcher working in the intersections of digital culture, activism and contemporary arts.
For the last 15 years, he has been a free culture advocate and part of a wide range of commons-based initiatives fighting for power distribution and people's participation in decision-making.
His artistic practices, nearly always in collective, critically explore power dynamics under techno-capitalism through installation, publishing, media art and performing arts. His works have been presented in institutions such as Ars Electronica, MACBA, Bienal Sur, MAM Rio, Instituto Tomie Othake, SESC, Cryptorave among others.
His current scholarly focus is on tracking and promoting commons-based art practices, with particular attention to horizontal governance models and emerging collective organisational aesthetics.
He holds a MA in Visual Arts and a BA in Mass Communications from the Sao Paulo State University (UNESP). Additionally, he holds a postgraduate diploma from the Independent Studies Program of the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (PEI-MACBA).
Lucas currently serves as Communications & Advocacy Director at the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN).
He is a PhD candidate in Arts, Literature and Cultural Studies in the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) and the Sao Paulo State University (UNESP).
