Cory Arcangel Cv

Cory Arcangel often acts as a bridge between the highbrow and lowbrow areas of culture both lowering one and raising the other to create an equal plateau. Arcangel's artistic practice began in a somewhat unorthodox way, emerging out of his studies as a musician. Many musical influences and performative elements remain central to his work.

Cory Arcangel first gained attention for his hacking and alteration of vintage video games as well as his Internet based interventions. An evolution towards the appropriation of systems and video imagery, including video games and music videos began his exploration of mediums of popular culture. This interest in technology has evolved to include tools and systems such as Photoshop, Youtube and Garageband, all of which are used in ways that are not their primary or intended function but create often surprising results.

Arcangel has always taken an interest in making his work accessible to anyone, often posting videos, images and even directions for how to create work online. This simultaneously acts as a way of questioning authorship as well as enabling anyone to create their own version of a Cory Arcangel work.

Cory Arcangel lives and works in Brooklyn, New York
