Gregory A. McCullough

Studio of Gregory A McCullough, Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada

Gregory A McCullough is based in the Great Lakes watershed of Canada. McCullough's art bridges the digital and classical visual art divides. Seeking gems "found in translation", his art re-embodies the visual vocabulary of one medium within another. He seeks to express art as a way of knowing (embodying the visual vocabulary we see the world through) which can then reveal our paradigms of knowing, even those subsumed from technologies usage.

He says, “Art and technology can be known as structural components in a social “Generative Adversarial Network” that offers positive evolutionary progress to society. Technology is the McLuhanesque medium that ultimately modifies its users. “Every way of being becomes a way of knowing.” We become slaved to how the technology is used day to day and our view of the world is reshaped to this new mold. This shifts our society without pre-planning, we adapt to our new environment. We unknowingly are changed. Art is the counter-leverage to this technological social shift. It embodies “Every way of knowing becomes a way of being” It allows us to test run paradigms of being, to see the world anew; and so, to in turn change ourselves via the enlightenment of seeing what we have or shall become. We see ourselves in a cultural mirror and accept or reject what we have inadvertently become. Hence we can choose what we are. These two adversarial shifts – accommodation to technology and a cultural conscious revealing agency; move civilization forward. Like skaters, both contribute and counterbalance each others tendencies as we become into being.”
