Grant Stevens is an Australian artist based in Sydney. Working predominantly with computer graphics, moving image, and photography, his practice explores the various ways that digital technologies and conventions of representation mediate our inner worlds and social realities. While his early works focused on the entanglements of popular culture, language, and the conventions of communication, his more recent works tap into therapeutic responses to today’s cult of speed and hyperactivity. Stock photography, mood music, guided meditations, and borrowed phrases remain important reference points, as Stevens uses the tools of visual culture to reflect on its ironies and paradoxes. Present throughout is a particular ambivalence that flickers between the existential and the mundane, where sincere quests for meaning and insight mix with the familiar tropes and formulas of popular visual culture.
