Lives and works in Vienna, Austria and Dublin, Ireland

John Gerrard is a multimedia artist who is best known for creating virtual sculptures that unfold in real time through sophisticated simulations. Using technologies like satellite data, 3D scanning, and motion capture, Gerrard constructs algorithmic environments with dynamic choreographies, realistic day-night cycles, and continuously rendered frames. His work challenges conventional notions of time-based media, offering a critical exploration of the visible and hidden forces shaping contemporary life. Blending technological precision with introspective scenes reminiscent of Beckett’s minimalism, Gerrard invites viewers to engage with the intricate logic and meaning of his perpetually evolving virtual worlds.

Bone Work (Gulf of Mexico)

Bone Work (Gulf of Mexico) 2022 centers on sixteen fragments of dead coral found by the artist on the shores of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Gulf Of Mexico. The work operates on local Yucatán time (GMT-5) and is an annual solar simulation. The sun rises and sets in the work simultaneously as in Mexico, thus each piece can look radically different from hour to hour, accurate across the solar year.

Bone Work (Gulf of Mexico) 2022 is John Gerrard’s first work on the Tezos blockchain.
