Forrest McGarvey

Forrest McGarvey is an interdisciplinary artist and writer examining the ways that visual technologies are changing the world. In his visual practice, he combines and copies images to push the binary of “analog” and “digital” objects. In his writing and research, he looks at how the dominant focal point of the digital screen is effecting how we perceive, understand, and experience visually similar or identical instances. Both of his practices look for moments of failures, substitutions, and inversions in media to rethink how we use it to shape and define our current selves and culture.
