"Contemporary artist & antifragilist | Spheres of Influence, Chance, Emergent Complexity - The only constant is constant change"
The multidisciplinary artist David Fried (1962, NYC)explores the qualities of invisible complex dynamicrelationships in the form of minimalistic images andobjects.The inherent and flexible characteristics ofinterdependent networked systems operating“far-from-equilibrium” found in nature and socialendeavor, are echoed throughout his sculptural,photographic and interactive works. The artist employs highly symbolic motifs that are universally recognizable as organic or pertaining to natural phenomena with chaotic tendencies, contextually infused with hints of human influence and our urge to control, manipulate and predict outcomes.In a human world that is increasingly aware of andwitness to the influence of self-organizing systems,Fried explores the space between the lingeringanachronism of the clockwork world view andthe vanguard of progressive systems thinking ondiverse themes such as communication, sociology,ecology and biology.
