Arts at CERN

The multimedia works of Yuri Pattison are complex while their aesthetics often seem anti-illusionistic and poetic

For example, the Irish artist programmes artificial sunrises, thus making the materiality of digital technology visible. Using a research-based approach, he grapples with the elusive realms between the virtual and the physical – and, in doing so, with our present. Yuri Pattison explores how new technologies – such as the digital economy or online communication – fundamentally affect and modify the conditions of social life. How do these technologies influence our everyday lives and the perception of our environment? How do they structure our perception of space and time?

Yuri Pattison’s recent solo exhibitions include: mother’s tankstation Dublin and London (2022, 2019, 2017, 2016); The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2020); LABOR, Mexico City (2019); Kunsthalle Sankt Gallen; (2017); Chisenhale Gallery, London (2016).
