Work
Richard Dupont's work draws from a variety of themes and references, and has been described as post-digital and post-internet. His work references the Body art, Process art and Systems art movements of the 1960s and 1970s. However, he uses 3D digital models of bodies and objects rather than things themselves. Dupont had his body scanned at a General Dynamics facility on The Wright Patterson Air Force Base in 2004, and has been working from these images, translated into both two and three dimensions, since then. An interest in the implications of biometric technologies underpins much of his work.
