Brecht Debackere (born in 1979) is an audiovisual artist. He studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Bruges, audiovisual art at RITCS (Brussels), and image and media technology at HKU in Hilversum; he also holds a Master of Arts degree in Image Synthesis and Computer Animation. Since 1995, he has worked in fiction film, animation, motion graphics, and the exploration of applications such as video synthesis, interaction, and concept development.
Under the name Autofasurer, Debackere worked on experiments in abstract design and the integration of design with video synthesis and programmed systems. He also collaborated with multimedia artist Boris Debackere, who specializes in sound, interface, and software design for live music performances. Together, they developed live cinema pieces. Through his work, he explores the tension between physical, representational, and virtual space, seeking to uncover the intrinsic characteristics of virtual space.
He also worked with Visualantics, a Belgian foundation and production house he co-founded, on more figurative and documentary-oriented projects, ranging from animation to music videos. Debackere collaborated with and carried out assignments for, among others, the WORM Foundation in Rotterdam, PARK4DTV in Amsterdam, and the Dutch television network VARA. He lives and works in Hilversum and Brussels.
