drone beuys

“Drone Beuys” is a collaborative, non-gender-specific gesture at the extension of technology as a contemporary reference to the conceptual artist Joseph Beuys, and fashioning of myth in the shared studio practice of Adam Fung and Nick Bontrager.

Adam Fung is an Associate Professor of Painting and Nick Bontrager is an Associate Professor of New Media at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. They have worked collaboratively under the moniker of “Drone Beuys” for nearly a decade as they focus on an interdisciplinary practice with anthropologists, scientists, strategic communicators, dancers, musicians, and engineers. They are fascinated with unique landscape formations, the connection between landscape and myth, and how these sites may be non-invasively, holistically mapped with new and emerging technologies.
