Deeply rooted in a conceptual framework, Tony Oursler conjures multimedia and immersive experiences that combine traditional artmaking tools with new technologies. Oursler is known for his work with moving images, installation and projection. He draws inspiration from wide-ranging pop cultural phenomena, including telecommunications, narrative evolution, conspiracy, social media, mysticism and environmental concerns. His works often take the form of a “palimpsest,” layering possible futures with the recent past while focusing on present-day issues. In recent years, Oursler has used his extensive archive in conjunction with installations to blur the boundaries between art, fact and belief systems. Since 2000, he has produced many public works involving light and projection onto architecture and existing landscape features, such as water, trees and smoke, and sculptural objects, such as cast bronze and stone.
