Ryan Kuo
New York artist making diagrammatic, process based work with game engines, UX design and chatbots
Biography
Ryan Kuo was born in 1982 and is based in New York. His process based, diagrammatic work often takes up argument, using videogame engines, web and UX design, chatbots, productivity software and technical writing to examine objects in relation to white supremacy. He holds an MS in Art, Culture and Technology from MIT and has held residencies at Pioneer Works and the Queens Museum Studio Program. His work has been shown at the Queens Museum, bitforms gallery, TRANSFER in Los Angeles, Stroom Den Haag, Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin and the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, and is distributed online by left gallery in Berlin. Hateful Little Thing overlays whitney.org with text boxes that copy its pages and appear in a different sequence on each launch. Presented as a separate persona, it overwrites the site with blunt snippets drawn from the artist's experiences in online, workplace and institutional settings.
