Artie Vierkant (1986)

Artie Vierkant

Artie Vierkant is an American contemporary artist, art critic, spokesperson and theorist of post-internet art, and author of The Image Object Post Internet (2010). He lives and works in New York, USA.

He studied fine art at the University of Pennsylvania, and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of California.

Vierkant creates objects that are post-internet art, meaning they are meant to exist both online and in a tangible medium. His works are examples of how the new media environment is influencing art and contemporary society in general. Vierkant's creations are often on the edge between the abstract conceptual idea of the object itself and its physical embodiment.

Also in his work, Vierkant deals with the problem of intellectual property protection, reflecting on the limits of copyright distribution.
