Brian Bulfer is an artist and educator interested in how different forms of visual-spatial representations can change perception and allow for alternative modes of meaning-making. Developing languages through both digital forms and traditional materials, his interdisciplinary work encodes numerous representational systems (e.g., signs, pictographs, maps, diagrams) in exploring embodiment, semiotics, and cognitive science. He references artist-based research practices, minimalism, and conceptual art through this artwork, as well as spiritual aesthetic forms that underlie communication within numerous cultures. Bulfer’s work is an ongoing dialogue with narratology, media, new materialism, constructive development, and consciousness studies while investigating data through materials. |
