Patrick Meagher Artists Statement 2008
Architecture, technology and economics revolving around the internet at the turn of the millennium is the central theme in my artwork. Connected
by conceptual, visual and material points across a range of media and styles, my work explores transitions within the new economy concerning
globalization, informatization, and intercultural communication.

Employing digital tools on a conceptual basis throughout my studio process, I’m collaging and hybridizing utopian commercial aesthetics as
a visual language reflecting on the massive changes brought about by distributed media.

Currently I’m working on three ongoing suites corresponding to the three time phases of the millennial shift: “Postscript to Modernism”, “The
Desktop Revolution”, and “New Era Consciousness”- respectively revealing subtle cultural traces in Styrofoam electronics packaging forms,mapping the new global vocabulary of ecommerce web buttons, and intuiting and distilling local, state & municipal logos into 21st century symbols and analogs for fundamental psychological states heightened by emerging technologies.
