Synapse Lecture: Alan Butler

Presented by Mary Schiller Myers School of Art: The University of Akron at Mary Schiller Myers School of Art: The University of Akron, Akron OH

Oct 17 2019
Synapse Lecture: Alan Butler

This public lecture is part of the Synapse Art and Science lecture series focusing on the intersection of these disciplines.

Alan Butler’s work explores material and philosophical ideas about how imagery and meaning function in technologically mediated realities. His subject often ties together the cultural dogma that underpins visual languages, with algorithmic modes of being in western capitalist societies. He received his MFA from LaSalle College of the Arts, Singapore (2009). and BA in Fine Art from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin (2004). Alan Butler’s work is in the collections of IMMA – the Irish Museum of Modern Art, The Office of Public Works, Ireland, and Trinity College Dublin. He is represented by Green On Red Gallery, Ireland. His work will be featured in the exhibition Open World: Video Games and Contemporary Art at The Akron Art Museum October 19, 2019- February 2, 2020. http://www.alanbutler.info
