Notes:

Known for his paintings, collages and animations that examine the ways in which perception of our surroundings and culture is mediated by technology, his works present a flattened, depopulated and predominantly urban world derived from found images. His thematic concerns – including the signifiers of Modernist idealism and technological progress, conspiracy theories and the growing prevalence of surveillance in the post-9/11 world – have led him to focus on images featuring architecture, machinery, interiors, urban and suburban landscapes, as well as text. The world as depicted by Alfred is distanced, banal – as in visually unremarkable – yet highly charged with possible meanings. GEcropcircle examines the artists’ interest in text in landscape, more specifically the act of creating a drawing in nature as a means of protest or graffiti. Or is it Land Art?
