Are We Entering a Post-Individual Era of Art?
In this episode of The Art Angle, host Ben Davis talks with post‑national artist Christopher Calendron Thomas about his practice that fuses AI‑generated imagery, deepfake video, and documentary footage to interrogate politics, technology, and identity. Thomas recounts his unconventional path from engineering‑focused childhood, through a stutter‑driven turn to photography and painting, to a Goldsmiths education where he critiqued the Western contemporary canon from a Sri Lankan perspective. He explains early works that incorporated affordable Sri Lankan artworks as a provocation on market dynamics, and recent projects like the Gagosian “Peace Corps” installation that loops 9/11 morning broadcasts to expose the myth of post‑war liberal optimism and its ties to the genocide in Sri Lanka. Throughout, Thomas argues that contemporary art’s performative authenticity often narrows possibilities for marginalized identities, urging a more complex, self‑reflective approach.
