Dan Torop is currently building a virtual stretch of the Bowery as it was in 1997. This follows years exploring the computability of the sublime (and vice versa) via his interactive physics-based simulation Ocean. Other computational endeavors include a machine that endlessly speaks heartfelt poetry, cellular automaton drawings, dancing shadow puppets, and the collaborative machinima film LoveDeath.
In his non-digital practice, Torop wanders various landscapes in
search of photographs. While working in the documentary tradition, he
seeks an immanence in images which transcends their optical and physical
nature. He has shown his photography internationally since the mid-’90s, and regularly exhibits at the Derek Eller Gallery in New York.
He currently lives in Brooklyn.
