longer bio:
Zach Nader is a Brooklyn-based artist who improvises structures to create friction and versions of rituals around ideas of home, memory, and play. Through the altering and interruption of photographic information in an inquiry-based practice, he investigates the feedback loop between images and our physical world. Treating all physical objects as a potential screen through which images may pour and stick, Nader reprograms images through a variety of techniques, including digital-image rendering, painting, sculpture, and drawing.
Nader grew up in Dallas, Texas, and received his MFA in photography at Texas Tech University. He has participated in the Midnight Moment program in Times Square, a solo, month-long video installation on numerous electronic billboards, and was an artist in residence at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn, as part of their Center for Art and Innovation Residency Program. His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions and screenings, including at Cultuurcentrum Hasselt, Belgium; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and Haus der elektronischen Künste, Basel.
