A bit about me // شواي عني// un peu de moi

In this world, there are two Riad Salameh (probably). The first is the Governor of Lebanon's central bank, and the second is an artist and researcher. Their common interest - other than their name and being from Lebanon - is economies. The Governor investigates it for profit, the other criticize it for art practice. 

Riad Salameh (1995) is a lebanese researcher and art practitioner with a graphic design, art mediation and media arts cultures background. His work often follows a praxis method that uses microtransformations as to respond to the urgency of collective socio-economic transformations. Looking into the ownership of bodies in cyberspaces, investigating internet capital and physiological needs of the everyday, he critically investigates economies and its interlink to biopower. His interests relate to the abstraction of the physical and digital self through performance, web-navigation, irony, humor, migration and intimacy. His research and artistic work were presented in Lebanon, The Netherlands, South Korea, Denmark, Georgia, England, Pakistan, Latvia, UAE, Oslo & online. He is currently doing a fellowship at Foundation We Are in Eindhoven
