Fernando Magalhães

My name is Fernando Magalhães, aka MGXS. I’m a South American digital artist who’s been crafting AI, protocols, generative techniques for the last decade. I use computers to generate art, and I see them as an extension of who I am, allowing me to reach places my physical body can’t. I want to understand how things connect, and like exploring, testing, trying, again and again.

They’ve called me crazy many times, and maybe I am. I question everything, myself included. I love being surprised about what comes out from my work. I believe in the power of our minds to examine our reality and keep searching for answers/exploring our world.
