Nate Boyce is an artist and musician who uses 3D modelling, video, and physical objects to produce works that morph between moving image and sculpture. Often disorienting in form and bewildering in cultural and historical reference, the artist’s complex forms oscillate between spatial and visual gestures, between the animated image and sculptural form and with an anachronistic sensibility for locating us temporally. His practice considers how mutable the world has become through computerized simulation and reflects on the experience and conditions of our time; a time where our own increasing participation in digital technologies locates us in an unstable present, a contested past and an uncertain future.
