CURATED: DEV HARLAN

Dev Harlan is a New York-based artist working in sculpture, installation, and digital media. His practice explores a range of themes, including landscape, anthropogenic change, and technological consumption. In his work, he uses technology to question itself and the narrative that human societies and technology are somehow separate from the natural world, asking instead, how are they entangled and embedded within each other?

Dev is a 2020 NYFA Fellowship Finalist in Digital Media Arts and winner of the 2022 Mozaik Artist Grant.

Afterlives, III

The New York-based artist Dev Harlan believes that technostalgia is a coping mechanism for the rapid and unrelenting acceleration of technology and social change. In his work, the depiction of computers or devices from the past is not intended as sentimentalism. Harlan is interested in flattening the timescale between technological artifacts, past and present, and considering them all as future fossils, literally flattened into the geological strata. A record of us in the world after us.

In conversation with Anika Meier, Harlan discusses technostalgia and retrofuturism, art and technology, and nature in the age of the metaverse.
