John Gerrard

John Gerrard (*1974 Ireland, based in Dublin and Vienna) is concerned with the nature of contemporary power in the broadest sense, as it is epitomised by the structures of influence and the networks of energy that characterise the 20th century’s quest for globalisation. Best known for his installations of digital simulations using real-time computer technologies, many of his artworks feature geographically isolated industrial facilities and natural resources essential to the global production network and invisible to most consumers. johngerrard.net
