About the artist’s work

Richard Garet interweaves various media including moving image, sound, expanded photography, and multimedia performance. In work ranging from modified environments to installation, with specificity towards media and space, Garet constructs immersive situations that draw attention to the processes of perception, which activate sensorial, physical, and psychological phenomena that reflects on the nature and experience of time.

 Garet’s pieces, whether conceptual in origin or stemming from his investigation of complex systems and algorithmic translations, are informed by the background noise established not only by mass media culture but also by the collective experience of the world that surrounds him. Garet’s reductive process seeks to invert the normative function of this background noise, drawing it up from unconscious status to active presence. He finds further inspiration from observing isolated situations of everyday life and from material interactions that incorporate problems of context, technology, defunctionalization, commodity, and environment.

Sobre el trabajo del artista

Richard Gared entrelaza varios medios en sus obras incluyendo imágenes, sonido, fotografía ampliada, y la actuación multimedia. En obras que varían de ambientes modificados a instalaciones con una especialidad hacia el medio y el espacio, Garet construye situaciones inmersivas que llaman atención al proceso de la percepción, que activa fenómenos sensoriales, físicos y psicológicos que reflexionan en la naturaleza y experiencia del tiempo.

Las piezas de Garet, ya sean conceptuales en origen o derivadas de su investigación de sistemas complejos y traducción algorítmicas, están informadas por el ruido de fondo establecido no solo por la cultura de los medios de comunicación pero también por la experiencia colectiva del mundo que lo rodea. El proceso reductivo de Garet busca invertir la función normativa de este ruido de fondo, elaborándolo del status inconsciente a la presencia activa. El encuentra inspiración observando situaciones aisladas de la vida cotidiana y de las interacciones de los materiales que incorporan problemas de contexto, tecnología, desfuncionalización, comodidad y ambiente.
