Cory Arcangel (b. 1978, Buffalo, NY, US) is an artist whose conceptual practice explores the aesthetics and politics of digital culture. Working across video, music, programming, and installation, Arcangel retools outdated technologies—like gaming consoles and obsolete software—to comment on memory, media, and obsolescence. Both critical and humorous, his works engage with the infrastructures of contemporary life and the fleeting nature of cultural iconography.
