Chris Dorland

Chris Dorland is a Canadian/American artist based in New York, born in 1978. His work focuses on the intersection of technology, consumerism, and abstraction, creating a dystopian vision of the world. Dorland often employs a variety of screens, scanners, and drones to create his work, exploring the ways in which machines perceive, record, and reproduce the world through data visualization and optical devices.

Dorland works as a technician in the studio, moving between the machines and devices to create images that document and distort the world. His work has been exhibited in various institutions and galleries including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Bronx Museum of Art, Aetopoulos in Athens, Super Dakota in Brussels, Martos in Los Angeles, Lyles & King in New York, Marianne Boesky Uptown in New York, and Marc Selwyn Fine Art in Los Angeles.

Dorland's works can be found in the collections of Microsoft, The Juilliard School of Art, Dawson College, Neuberger Berman, and The Langham in Chicago, IL.
