Duncan Poulton\u2019s Digital and Video Collage<\/h2>\n

Based in Birmingham, United Kingdom, Duncan Poulton is a product of relational aesthetics in that his artwork is concerned with humanity in its social context and, in particular, how culture is appropriated and reiterated. \u201cI observe, deconstruct and reconfigure found online content in order to produce works which form new associations between images and their authors\u2019 original context of production,\u201d he writes. \u201cI am interested in the knowing misapplication of established techniques and formal strategies, the productive misinterpretation of existing cultural content.\u201d In Kolaj<\/em> #20<\/a>, Ric Kasini Kadour profiles and interviews the artist.<\/p>\n

\"Kolaj20-p20-21\"<\/p>\n

My process usually involves a long research and incubation period in which I extensively search for a range of material on a specific subject or theme. These searches might begin with a piece of software, the technical name for a type of simulated object or a broad category of images, but inevitably branch off into new and unexpected avenues. This exploratory gathering process is usually the most exciting phase and it invariably brings about new ideas which can feed into subsequent works.<\/em><\/h2>\n
