Richard Dupont (born 1968) is a postdigital American artist whose installations, sculptures, paintings and prints examine the social implications of 21st century digital technology.
Early life and education
Dupont was born in New York City in 1968. He received an AB degree from the Departments of Visual Art and Art and Archeology at Princeton University in 1991. He has lived in New York City since 1991.[1]
Artistic practice
A pioneer in the field of
Digital Art, Dupont began using scanners and 3D printing in 2002 to capture and replicate distorted images of his body. Dupont had his whole body scanned at a General Dynamics facility on The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 2004. Dupont's work examines the degree to which the primacy of the human gesture has been radically altered by the onset of digital technology. He also uses his art to interrogate expressions of power and control, and to examine how anthropometry, the Victorian science of mapping the body, has morphed over the past century into biometrics.[2]
Exhibitions and awards
In 2005, Dupont was invited to present a solo project at
The Powerhouse Museum, and The Underground Museum, Los Angeles. In 2014, Dupont was awarded the Museum of Arts and Design
Visionary Award.
Collections
Dupont's works are included in the collections of
The Hammer Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and the New York Public Library
print collection among others.
