Rafael Fajardo
Rafael Fajardo teaches at the University of Denver (USA) in three degree programs: Electronic Media Arts Design, Digital Media Studies, and Game Development. For over twelve years Fajardo has been investigating cultural identity and cultural representation through his visual and intellectual work. His early explorations, completed while receiving his MFA from RISD, garnered recognition from the American Center for Design. More recently, his critical practice has earned him recognition by I.D., The International Magazine of Design.
Fajardo is the founder of SWEAT, a loose collaborative that makes socially conscious videogames. It explores the poetics of interactivity, critiques and deploys electronic media, and comments on cultural realities. SWEAT has published two video games, Crosser and La Migra, that comment on the game-like nature of (il)legal human traffic at the US/Mexico border. These games have been exhibited internationally. SWEAT is currently working on a game, set in Colombia, where the player must decide between growing coffee and growing poppies.
