Cory Arcangel graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music with a degree in Technology in Music and the Related Arts. He came to the art world through a number of internet based activities. These, in turn, lead to invitations from institutions for lectures and demonstrations, a performative aspect which naturally called for the creation of digital environments. These latter pieces evolved into stand-alone artworks.
For his second solo show at Team Gallery , Cory Arcangel continues his practice of tweaking old data. Instead of the Nintendo and Atari Game systems, Cory instead uses Richard Linklater's stoner classic Dazed and Confused, Guns and Roses' tune Sweet Child O' Mine, the Beatles' vaunted appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, Bruce Springsteen's legendary Born to Run LP and Dennis Hopper's 80s cop drama Colors.
The exhibit is a fascinating and entertaining combination of art, music and technology, made better by Cory Arcangels' personal commentary. It was inspiring to see someone able to combine multiple passions into a cohesive project.
