Ryan Kuo‘s practice is concerned with linguistic and visual mapping of ideological structures; interpreting governmental, social, and technical systems through dry humor and a Kafkaesque sensibility. Kuo often makes use of bureaucratic formats, such as catalogs, tables, and indices, and finds within them space to consider philosophical and social topics, such as the complexity of familial relationships, the violence of whiteness, and the politics of grievance in online encounters. Kuo’s work is structural digital art, in that it explores the ways that the shape of digital systems overdetermine the content produced within them. By inhabiting the structures of technological systems, Kuo is able to grapple with a complex, dynamic techno-political moment that is resistant to more traditional forms of critique.
