biography

Ana Carvalho is a visual artist, web designer and academic/researcher. Major themes in the visual work of Ana Carvalho are emotional celebrations in daily life, women's achievements, fictional biography and ways of knowing. Experiencing different cultures and languages is a way of living. She develops work that describes processes of interaction with other people while telling stories that are nor entirely fiction or reality. The work is presented as live visual performance, installation/videos and on the Internet. By using images and colors she explores multiplicities in herself, gender and relationships. Ana is co-editor of the project VJ Theory, which looks to the compilation and collaborative creation of theories and philosophies related to the practices of VJing and reatime interactive performance practices. As part of VJ Theory she has been interviewing and publishing conversations with several artists about ideas which inform their work, as for example Lance Blisters and Mark Amerika. Together with Elsa Vieira (RogueWaves Inc./SHARE/MonkeyFish Films) she is organizing an annual event in Lisbon called Abertura, a one day presentation of interactive installations and audiovisual performances. She is also one of four members of Art in Hidden Places of Falmouth. Through art events, the group attempts to create a network for artists to communicate, collaborate and create works in public spaces. Ana runs her web design company, Visual Agency, where Art and Design are combined in the development of online projects.
