“The world is a ridiculous place. I am interested in the moments where things don’t quite line up. My practice is idea based. The core focus of my work is to raise questions, revel in the inconsistencies, and interrogate the obvious through a series of gestures.”
Bridging the gap between art and science, Caleb Larsen draws on technology and daily life to create his works. From a sculpture that perpetually sells itself on Ebay to the entire linear contents of a pen, Larsen’s work may not always speak for itself, but nevertheless makes a statement. Looking through his website provides page after page of innovative and thought-provoking installations…
And of course I have to mention A&V’s connection(ish) with the artist. The project “Simulacrum”, in which the artist created his own life as a version of the popular video game “The Sims” and played from 9:00 am to 4:30 for an entire week, was installed in the Tjaden Gallery at Cornell University in 2005.
