‘Q{*a’, (2016) by #TonyOursler, presented by @lissongallery – and captured by @leah alexandra – at Art Basel Miami Beach 2016. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A pioneer of new-media art since the mid-1970s, @TonyOursler conjures sculptural and immersive experiences employing animation, montage, and live-action. ‘My early idea of what could be art for my generation was an exploded TV,’ says Oursler. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From performative and low-fi beginnings, the New York-based artist has developed an ever-evolving multimedia and audio-visual practice utilizing projections, video screens, and optical devices which take form as figurative puppets, ethereal talking automatons, or mesmeric cacophonous environments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With these video sculptures, Oursler explores the role that the rapid growth of technology plays in altering and often inhibiting human social behavior. #artbasel #newmediaart #immersiveart
