Super Dakota

Connor McNicholas' work explores the relationship between humanity's origins and its potential trajectories through a pluralistic inquiry into cultural and social constructs.

Their use of diverse materials and practices deny an authorial signature and range from those rooted in human tradition such as found text and photographs, to altered ready-mades and installation, and contemporary technologies like 3D animation software and electronic audio equipment.

The resultant exhibitions resist simple categorization and serve as abstract frameworks that intertwine these various material and temporal loops to reveal a constellation of personal and universal histories.
