Patricio Gonzalez Vivo, born in Buenos Aires in 1982 and currently based in the United States, is a multidisciplinary artist working across traditional and digital mediums. In his work, he pursues awareness and self-discovery through themes like celestial bodies, esoteric symbolism, clocks and maps.

As part of his art practice, Patricio makes his own tools, libraries, and educational materials that he shares openly. Tool making is central to his art practice as a way to spread ideas and give back to his community. His  Book of Shaders  has taught to an entire generation of digital artists; the book has been used for countless workshops and inspired several other projects. His tools GlslViewer, glslCanvas and glslPipeline and libraries like Lygia, Vera, Berthe, and Hypatia, are widely used as reliable instruments for art making.

Patricio has been invited to show his work at EYEO, Resonate, GROW, FILE, Espacio Fundación Telefónica, BrightMoments, FlyingTokyo, DotDotDot and FASE festivals, to talk about his work at MIT Media Lab, Carnegie Mellon University, Frank-Ratche Studio for Creative Inquiry and Politecnico di Milano. He has taught at his alma matter, Parsons The New School in the MFA in Design & Technology progam, at ITP NYU, at SFPC (School for Poetic Computation) and at the Instituto Universitario Nacional de Arte in Argentina. His work has been featured in Wired, Gizmodo, The Atlantic, and Fast Company.
