Authors | Jonathan Ostrem
Jonny Ostrem is a visual artist working in Vancouver, BC. He employs 3D renderings, real-time engines, and simulation – often co-opting CGI tools of representation to achieve unexpected results. His digital imagery explores the expressive potential of technology, operating in a broad spectrum between realism and abstraction; taking the form of large scale prints and projections in galleries and public spaces. Ostrem’s experimental animated work has shown in exhibitions across Canada, including FUSE – Vancouver Art Gallery 2016, New Forms Festival (2014), Ottawa International Animation Festival (2010), GIRAF Film Festival, Calgary (2010) and Les Sommets, Montréal (2010). Since 2012, he has worked with Stan Douglas recreating history in 3D.
