Craig Kalpakjian

 
Among the first artists in his generation to employ digital software in the creation of art objects, Craig Kalpakjian (born 1961 in Huntington, New York State, lives and works in New York) engages with both historical art discourses and contemporary issues. In his work, Kalpakjian focuses on the seduction of technology and digital space from a critical position, questioning utopian ideals and suggesting darker implications.
