Cutting-edge performance art permeates Hugo Faz's 10 year body of work in photography and filmmaking, whether portraying the Brazilian queer art scene and its personalities, making censorship-defying artistic statements, or via the creation of expanded-body personas, through which the artist immerses themself in themes of identity, body and sexuality, human and human-machine relationship, bio/necropolitics and crypto.

Hugo is currently focused on bringing performance art to web3 in novel, experimental dynamics made possible by the blockchain. Among his main web3 achievements are "Human-intelligence Generated OM", part of the The Memes by punk6529, performance art video filmed in São Paulo with the participation of more than 60 people, issued in 569 copies sold out in 10 minutes and with a market capitalization of more than US$100,000 ; and "Fight for the Freedom to Transact", sold for 10.69Ξ, a first for a live, public performance act immediately minted and auctioned as an NFT; and The World Today project, organized with Obscura, where 138 photographers portrayed the world simultaneously according to their own vision in 100 NFT native photographs each totaling 13,800 unique NFT photographs, the largest collection of natively digital photography in history.

Having minted his first NFT in April 2021, Hugo Faz is the founder of Casa NUA, Brazil’s first permanent museum for decentralized art and also an incubator of developing world and marginalized artists to the NFT space. Hugo is also a member of Light Artists, Obscura, Seizer DAO and Bankless.
