JASON MYERS (b. 1972) Jason Myers is a prolic multi-disciplinary artist with studios in Indiana and the Netherlands. Myers received his bachelor’s degree from the Kansas City Art Institute and his MFA from American University. Myers has built upon his rich experience in different media, many of which he has taught at University level, and combined this experience with consistent evolution of both his style and technique. is resulted in a unique combination of traditional artistic and industrial raw materials in his current work – work in which technology is married to economics and the feeling of utter alienation haunts the gures populating the works. His artwork invites the use of such materials as steel, resin and computer generated prints. Complex, layered and exquisitely executed, Myers’ work oen questions our current political and socioeconomic environment. Forgoing the “typical trajectory” perhaps expected from modern-day artists – a Brooklyn studio, numerous assistants – Myers instead opts for solitary path. e majority of the work he creates takes a year to complete from its conception. Myers’ determination and dedication to his art is captivating, leaving lasting impressions on its viewers. With works exhibited across the United States and abroad, Myers’ acclaim has only grown in the past several years. e artist’s solo museum exhibit titled “STATUS: uid/dynamic” has traveled to both the Polk Museum of Art (Florida, 2017) and the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette (Indiana, 2019). During the summer of 2018, Myers was selected to create a monumental (60-foot tall, 38-ton) sculpture for the Lowlands Music Festival (Netherlands). His works are in the permanent collection of several museums, including the IMA (Indianapolis Museum of Art). In addition, individual works have been featured in museum exhibitions including: e Mint Museum (North Carolina, 2018-19), Museum de Fundatie / Kasteel het Nijenhuis (Netherlands, 2018), and the Cornell Museum (Florida, 2016).

I Am AlgorithmAer centuries of use, algorithms continue to play a crucial role in problem-solving, computation and decision-making. eir use and application have evolved alongside developments in mathematics, philosophy, and practical problem-solving. As technology also continues to advance, algorithms remain fundamental to many aspects of our daily lives by shaping how we navigate and perceive the world around us.is is especially relevant considering the recent rise of Articial Intelligence. Algorithms play an important part in how AI impacts our existence and experiences. AI relies on algorithms to aggregate data. e quality of that collected data is susceptible to design aws and misinformation which can lead to inaccurate outcomes and unintended negative consequences. In face, so much of our contemporary view of the world is based on algorithms, translated through digital media to feed your interests, sell you consumer goods, and become an echo chamber of your own perceptions.As part of this installation, Jason Myers presents self-portraits that are a combination of digital media, paint, alcohol dye, and resin. ey are reactionary portraits created through an experimental process, all inside an increasingly digital existence. ese studies use symbolic imagery sourced from mass media, which are physically and digitally altered to form an abstract of 'Myself."

Fragility is an inherent aspect of being human, which becomes more apparent as we grow older and gain a deeper understanding of our own mortality. Contemplating our fragility can lead to a greater appreciation of the interconnectedness and impermanence of all things.Life is a series of eeting moments that make up our personal history and shape our experience of the world. Each moment is precious, saturated with emotion and intensity, and becomes a part of our memory.My paintings explore these moments and their impermanence, inviting the viewer to live in the present and appreciate the beauty and complexity of life. rough the creative struggle in the painting process, I aim to evoke the struggles of life's experience and capture the essence of these eeting moments.Fragility: Embracing e Impermanence And Beauty Of Life
