Richard Garet (US/UY) is a contemporary multimedia artist born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1972. He holds an MFA from Bard College, NY. Garet has lived and worked in the United States since 1996. He explores the ontological relationship between the materials he uses, such as background noise activations, image and sound generative processes, and experiments applied to obsolete and current technological media utilities that emulate everyday situations resulting in abstractions. For Garet, these conceptual and experimental creations embody the perception of contemporary life as a filtered and sensory experience. Richard Garet’s work has been awarded nationally and internationally by institutions such as South Florida Cultural Consortium, FL; Prix Ars Electronica, Linz; Ministry of Education and Culture of Uruguay; CIFO Grants & Commissions Program, FL; The Clocktower, NYC; Foundation of Contemporary Arts, NYC; Issue Project Room, NYC; New York State Council of the Arts, NYC; and Taliesin West, The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Scottsdale, Arizona. There are two works in Data Infused from his Perceptual Series which stands as an exploration at the intersection of contemporary technology and artistic innovation, reshaping the landscape of painting, light and space art, and soundscapes through a series of mesmerizing moving image compositions. Garet's avant-garde methodology transcends conventional boundaries as he harnesses background noise to sculpt abstract sound material compositions, laying the groundwork for a symphony of electrifying visual narratives. Through meticulous manipulation of algorithmic and generative techniques, Garet transforms the frenetic pulse of urban soundscapes into vibrant visual landscapes that pulse with innate intensity, blurring the distinctions between sound and image.
