Harm van den Dorpel’s broad practice includes sculpture, installation, works on paper, computer generated graphics and software. Rooted in the conceptual heritage of net.art, Van den Dorpel’s works often simulate neural networks. The role of technology in his works is a means to an end: a tool to increase the understanding of our experience. “I seek to produce works that explore not only the technological hardware we use in our daily lives, but how we use it, the modalities of interface that are created, enabled, facilitated and restricted by the advance of technology.”
Harm van den Dorpel lives and works in Berlin. Selected (group) exhibitions include the New Museum in New York, MoMa PS1 in New York, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Museum Kurhaus Kleve, ZKM Karlsruhe, and the Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam. His first solo exhibition at Upstream Gallery is scheduled for February - March 2018. In 2015, Van den Dorpel started Left Gallery, an online gallery that commissions, produces, and sells downloadable files.

Over de kunstenaar
'Associative Systems - on Harm van den Dorpel, for E-state Realisms, ArtCenter South Florida'.
Outside of the art field, specifically the digital art field, it might be hard to immediately access just how radical Harm van den Dorpel’s work is. Hold on—“digital art” is a catch-all, and it might be the wrong phrase for Harm’s work, and further one he’d likely avoid. Let’s say, the generative software field. But a person even with no familiarity with the workings of generative software, or the history of automated poetry and creativity, can certainly see and feel how different and singular his work is. I’ve never seen anything like this before, is usually, still, the first thing I think when stepping before one of his paintings or websites or projects, because I know nothing else in art or software or any hybrid experiment joining the two, that looks or feels like them.
