Ryan Hackett, Natural Synthetics
to
Natural Synthetics features paintings, installations, and video by the Washington DC based artist Ryan Hackett.
Hackett manipulates the forms, colors, and sounds of the natural world into highly immersive experiences. He “samples” auditory and visual elements and creates hybrid compositions, much like an electronic musician. The fluttering wings of a Monarch butterfly build into hypnotic ambient music, just as layered paintings diffuse photographs of animals and machines.
