Jaret Vadera

Jaret Vadera is an artist and cultural producer working between New York, Toronto, and India. Through his interdisciplinary practice, Vadera explores how different social, technological, biological, and cognitive processes shape and control the ways that we see the world around and within us. He often takes "things" apart, and then puts them back together in new ways—revealing what may be hidden in plain sight. Rorschach tests, algorithms, maps, infographics, and logic paradoxes are often redeployed to locate ambivalent in-between spaces, to reveal malignant meanings, and to explore the poetics of representation. Vadera's thinking is influenced by the disciplines of cognitive science, post-colonial theory, Buddhist systems of thought, as well as the study of impossible objects.

Vadera’s work has been exhibited and screened at a number of institutions including the Queens Museum, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai, Films Division of India, Mumbai, Paved Art + New Media, Saskatoon, and the Maraya Art Centre in Sharjah.
