Chris Dorland is a Canadian-American artist (born 1978, Montreal; based in New York) whose work lives at the intersection of painting and digital media.

He uses tools like scanners, drones, and printers to fragment and reconstruct digital files — then transforms those fragments into dense, glitchy paintings. 

Dorland’s art explores themes of surveillance, technology, and techno-capitalism, creating dystopian landscapes that blur the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds.

His paintings and videos are chaotic yet poetic — a haunting meditation on progress, control, and collapse.
