Jon Rafman is a contemporary artist whose work explores how technology shapes emotional life, identity, and human relationships. He is especially interested in how people experience the internet, virtual spaces, and digital images not just as tools, but as environments that affect how we feel, think, and connect to others. His work often feels unsettling, intimate, or nostalgic, reflecting both the comfort and discomfort of living online.

In his process, Rafman often collects and studies digital material that already exists: images, places, and behaviors from online worlds. He pays attention to the small details that people usually scroll past, then reshapes them into artworks that raise questions about what feels real, what feels staged, and how digital life can be both attractive and invasive. Instead of giving one clear message, his work often leaves meaning open so the viewer has to sit with uncertainty.
