Cheng's genre-defying practice challenges our perceptions of environmental change and the role of technology in society

Published with The Contemporary Austin.

Carl Cheng (born 1942) first developed his art practice in Southern California in the 1960s amid a booming postwar aerospace industry, political unrest and an interdisciplinary art scene. In 1966 he incorporated his studio as John Doe Co., and from then on created sculptural products that reflect his conception of technology as an artistic tool. Originally recognized for his photographic sculptures, his inventive lexicon includes art tools employed in the production of ephemeral artworks, nature machines that anticipate an artificial world shaped by humans, kinetic installations and public art intended to reach broad audiences and question the relevance of art institutions.
