Cory Arcangel (born 1978) is a digital artist, musician and DJ who lives and works in Brooklyn, USA. Renowned for his approaches to ‘creative hacking’ and his subversive use of technology, Arcangel’s work is concerned with the relationship between technology, culture, and media appropriation.

Arcangel’s practice is representative of a shift in how artists and consumers alike are interacting with the world around them, influenced by rapid developments in technology. Using the internet as both a resource and distribution mechanism, Arcangel’s re-appropriations of visual and sonic media are widely experienced by audiences across the world, in a way that would not have been previously possible. Combining popular culture with technological possibility, his work blurs the boundaries surrounding traditional hierarchies of the artist, his work, and his control over and authorship of artistic practice.

Film and Video Umbrella worked with Cory Arcangel in 2007 to commission ‘a couple thousand short films about Glenn Gould’, which formed his first major presentation of work in the UK and his most significant moving image installation to date.

Arcangel has exhibited at the 2004 Whitney Biennial, the Guggenheim Museum and MOMA, New York and has work in several public collections including MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Miami Art Museum. He is represented by Max Wigram Gallery, London; Team Gallery, New York and Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris.
