Emerging New York City-based artist Paul Pfeiffer has been receiving substantial attention for his digitally engineered installations, which find unique ways of appropriating popular imagery to stirring effect. Pfeiffer works in a variety of media including sculpture, photography, and computer photocollage, but is perhaps best known for his video installations examining the popular sports phenomenon. In these installations, images of athletes and fans are remade into digital totems, and their interactions are used as visual laboratories to examine the effects of contemporary media forms on human forms and perceptions. Pfeiffer has exhibited at prestigious shows and galleries throughout the world, and he is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships.
