Alan Butler

Alan Butler (Dublin, 1981) works with traditional and new media as a means to explore subjects and ideas related to digital culture and their role in the formation of realities. With a production modality that utilises materials and media from the history of image-making, his body of work often examines how 3D graphics, video games and cloud technologies function both ideologically and politically. As part of the collective ANNEX he represented Ireland at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021. Recently his work has been exhibited at V&A (2024), transmediale/Akademie der Künste (2023), The Photographers’ Gallery (2022) and Fotomuseum Winterthur (2021), among many others.
