Tasman Richardson presents a 360° view of his piece Fire and Theft from his current show at Arsenal Contemporary Art Toronto, Kali Yuga.

Tracking the sun’s course from multiple vantage points, our vision is multiplied by live webcams overlooking locations across the globe. The surface of the Earth is folded in on itself. From this omnipresent vantage point, the sun is trapped, rising and setting from screen to screen from hour to hour, creeping ‘round the room like a tethered phoenix.

Based in Toronto (Canada), Tasman Richardson has exhibited extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. He predominantly works with video collages using the JAWA method (the manifesto he authored in 1996), fully immersive media installations (Necropolis, MOCCA 2012), and live audiovisual performances. His practice is defined as a critical response to the spectacular, emotionally potent illusion of media culture.
