Peter Gregorio works in large-scale painting, print, video, and installation, creating pieces and experiences that remix given architecture with new cultural landscapes and contemporary ideas in cosmology. In working to conceptualize information theory and connect forms of interdisciplinary knowledge through artistic practice, Gregorio uses conversations with writers, filmmakers, and professors as research for his most recent and ongoing body of work. ‘As we approach the merger of human cognition and technology, we near the epoch of a great paradigm shift.’ His work considers positing this merger in the context of visual art, from both personal and universal vantage points. Gregorio’s recent project SIN (Singularity Is Near) refers to the scientific concept of “The Singularity” — the point when technology and human intelligence merge — where technologically designed intelligence surpasses the biological. With painting, he collapses three-dimensional space into a flattened reticle of vaguely navigable territory, referencing computer manipulation and theories in cosmology to map the nuances of a dystopian landscape.

Peter Gregorio currently lives and works in New York, New York. He received a MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York and a BA from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA.
