Bio

Kevin Jones is an artist with painting and graphic design education. He often works in sculptural and video installation and deals with scientific questioning. He seeks to infiltrate the institution of science by questioning its logic and procedures. The result is a sci-fi collection of work functioning as a dream-like experiment in which the viewer is often the scientist.



Quotations

"Through digitally produced images and a video installation, Kevin Jones examines systems found in scientific investigation, specifically the periodic table of elements. His video, The Culture of Logic, builds upon the structure of the periodic table and features a combination of images that when seen together fluctuate between meaning and nonsense."

Michael McFalls Kevin Jones: April 22-May 28. 1708 Gallery Press Release. 18 March, 2011.

"By reconfiguring the methods society uses to understand and control its environment, Jones “seeks to question our understanding of the physical world and seeks to test and undermine scientific authority.”

Relates

Kevin Jones' work relates to mine in its examination of scientific procedures and final mutation of the "organism" that is the subject. I deal with measurements and data handling, whereas Jones is interested in the interactivity he can create with his installations, reminiscent of a laboratory.
