Ian is an American artist known for his live simulations that explore the nature of mutation and human behavior. His simulations, commonly understood as “virtual ecosystems” are less about the wonders of new technologies than about the potential for these tools to realize ways of relating to a chaotic existence. His work has been widely exhibited internationally, including MoMA PS1, Whitney Museum of American Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Migros Museum, and other institutions.
