Jon Rafman's practice over the past decade has been marked by in-depth explorations of digital culture. Modeling himself as a kind of Benjamin-esque figure, Rafman has sought out, and immersed himself in, the marginal and ephemeral—from Google Street View images to vorarephilia. Gaming worlds have played a central role in these investigations, and Rafman has tackled the latent romanticism within these as well the “beta male” as a character type associated with gaming spaces—often self-reflexively using his own unconscious as source material. Through these developments, he has cast light on the seismic cultural shifts associated with the internet that paved the way for the dominance of platforms and the emergence of an internet-fueled right-wing.
