Chris Dorland is a Canadian-American artist (b. 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.
