Adam
Norton’s work explores the effects of technology on the human
condition. He repurposes scientific ideas from the recent past and the
near future in an attempt to map out the mental and geographical
landscape of our present. His eccentric devices can be seen as a prism
through which to look at the conflicts and controversies of the era. He
uses paint, print, film and installation to present the most interesting
narratives and ideas about our present condition and where we might be
heading. He uses technology and science fiction as a narrative
architecture on which to hang his ideas about mankind’s role in the
universe.
Norton grew up in Lagos, Nigeria and later in Nairobi, Kenya. He studied in the United Kingdom. In 1984 Norton was awarded a BfA from The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University. He has lived and worked in Sydney, Australia, since 2002.
