Abelardo Gil-Fournier (Spain, 1979) is an artist and researcher, born in Rabat (Morocco) and based in Madrid. Originally trained in Physics, he holds a PhD in Art from Winchester School of Art (UK) and has worked as a researcher at FAMU in Prague (Czech Republic).

His practice addresses the entwining of media with the surfaces of the planet. His projects involve different techniques, spanning from sound and video installations to computational processes where living matter or other so-called natural phenomena conflate with their animate mediations.

His work has been exhibited and discussed internationally, including venues such as Transmediale (Berlin), Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia (León), Fotomuseum Winterthur (Switzerland), Fotocolectania (Barcelona) or Strelka Institute (Moscow).

He is the author, together with Jussi Parikka, of the book Living Surfaces. Images, Plants and Environments of Media (MIT Press 2024).
