> Using software processes of his own design, Jason Salavon generates  
> and reconfigures masses of communal material to present new  
> perspectives on the familiar. Though formally varied, his projects  
> frequently manipulate the roles of individual elements arranged in  
> diverse visual populations. This often unearths unexpected pattern  
> as the relationship between the part and the whole, the individual  
> and the group, is explored. Reflecting a natural attraction to  
> popular culture and the day-to-day, his work regularly incorporates  
> the use of common references and source material. The final  
> compositions are exhibited as art objects, such as photographic  
> prints and video installations, while others exist in a real-time  
> software context.
>
> Born in Indiana, raised in Texas, and based in Chicago, Salavon  
> earned his MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and  
> his BA from The University of Texas at Austin. His work has been  
> shown in museums and galleries around the world. Reviews of his  
> exhibitions have been included in such publications as Artforum,  
> Art in America, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.  
> Examples of his artwork are included in a number of prominent  
> public and private collections. He has taught at The School of the  
> Art Institute of Chicago and was employed for numerous years as an  
> artist and programmer in the video game industry.
