Cory Arcangel - Depreciated

From 29-08-2009 until 14-11-2009

Opening Friday August 28 from 17.00 hrs

The Media Art Institute presented the first solo exhibition in The Netherlands by the 31-year-old 'darling of new media art', Cory Arcangel (US). Recent films, modified video games and computer installations by the artist will be shown in the context of earlier work.

Cory Arcangel hacks, manipulates and reuses various technological applications, including video games, web software, film and print media. In doing so he comments on digital media technologies and cultures while at the same time continuing to seek the possibilities that present themselves on the cutting edge of humor, theory and technological shortcomings. His interest in technology spans from the vernacular or non-expert to the conscious disrupting of digital techniques. Using techniques common to conceptual art and performance, Arcangel's work often comments on the relationship between these two.
