Cory Arcangel
Cory Arcangel is an artist and composer living and working in Stavanger, Norway. Arcangel explores the potential and failures of old and new digital technologies, highlighting their obsolescence, humor, aesthetic attributes and, at times, eerie influence in contemporary life. Treating them as subject matter and medium, his practice interrogates, encodes and hacks the structural language of video games, software, social media and advertisement. With a background in classical guitar from Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Arcangel's practice often incorporates a score-based approach and a keen interest in the history and cultural significance of electronic and pop music. His work has been exhibited widely and was subject of solo exhibitions at Kunstverein in Hamburg, Hamburg (2022); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2011); Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh (2012); The Barbican, London (2011); Reykjavik Art Museum, Iceland (2015); Hamburger Bahnhof — Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (2010); Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (2010) and Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich (2005).
