Artist
dNASAb is an American artist and sculptor based in Brooklyn, New York, whose work explores the complex intersections of technology, ecology, and human experience. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture and Mixed Media from Florida State University and has developed a distinguished international career that bridges traditional craft with cutting-edge media. His innovative practice infuses discarded materials, consumer electronics, and ocean debris with the structural logic of natural ecosystems, creating sculptural environments and hybrid works that confront themes of loss, decay, planned obsolescence, e-waste, and environmental degradation.
dNASAb's art spans sculpture, immersive installations, video, augmented reality, and experimental cinema, often integrating artificial intelligence and interactive technologies to extend narratives beyond the physical object. His projects include large-scale augmented works and extended realities that invite viewers to reconsider contemporary consumption and the entangled relationships between nature, machines, and memory. His ongoing series Aesthetics of Decay exemplifies this approach, blending cinematic imagery with sculptural and digital elements to probe the fragile beauty of technological entropy and ritualized remembrance. The artist's chosen name is itself a compressed manifesto, drawing together the mass-cultural imagination of Disney, the aspirational technological vision of NASA, and the cybernetic hybridity of Star Trek's Borg, signaling a practice that treats popular science fiction, biological research, and the visual language of contemporary consumer culture as equally serious materials.
Over more than two decades, dNASAb has exhibited internationally, from New York and Miami to Moscow, Berlin, and Paris, and has presented solo installations at platforms such as Art Basel Miami Beach and Volta New York. He has received fellowships, residencies, and honors, and his work has been featured in publications including the Washington Post, Sculpture magazine, Art Papers, and ART 21. Today, dNASAb continues to expand his practice through collaborations with major institutions, immersive AR experiences, and explorations of sustainability, inviting audiences to engage as co-creators in ongoing dialogues about technology, ecology, and the future imaginaries our current moment demands.
