Darryl Rogers

Darryl Rogers (b Brisbane, Australia) is an artist who works with augmented reality, video, installation and virtual imaging. With a distinctive use of media Rogers questions and intervenes the seemingly impervious materiality of the world around us.

 

Whilst Rogers started his career as an artist his trajectory to being able to produce the level of technical and creative quality his work reveals today has included many auxiliary roles such as award winning special effects creator for film, theatrical set designer, museums design consultant, multi media and broadcast television producer to name but a few.

 

On encountering one of his augmented/holographic  installations there is an immediate sense of disorientation, realizing that what is being observed seems to counter the familiar physics by which the world is known.  It is this physical “non-reality” that Rogers explores conjuring characteristics of illusion, miracle, quantum mischief and the metaphysical.

Rogers’ lives and works in both Tasmania and Brisbane, occassionaly at the same time.
