About

Sabato Visconti is a Brazilian-born multimedia artist based in Northampton, Massachusetts. Their work interrogates contemporary and historical digital imaging practices by engaging with the underlying materialities of media production and online distribution. From pixels to glitches, video game errors to AI hallucinations, these visual liminalities serve as foundations for world-building and storytelling. As part of a Brazilian Diaspora, Sabato draws on cultural histories, natural ecologies, and politics to portray subjects and their environments, often entangled in systems designed to fail or malfunction.

Sabato’s works have been exhibited worldwide, notably at the Museum of the Moving Image, ICA Boston, and Tate Britain; they have also been published in Time Magazine, Vogue, and the Wall Street Journal.
