Oliver Laric

Oliver Laric is an Austrian artist, born in Innsbruck in 1981. He graduated from the University of Applied Arts Vienna in 2007. He’s been part of the so-called “post-internet” artistic movement since 2006.
His first works of art were published on the VVORK blog, a shrine to digital art debate, hosting discussions on how digital artworks can be more highly appreciated and valued.

Using a progression of videos (2009–2012) known as Versions, he ponders on the changeable nature of online images, demonstrating that graphical creations are no longer fixed entities and that they are all likely to inspire others and be modified, manipulated or even hijacked.

At the end of the 2010s, he started developing physical works of art that were still rooted in the digital art movement.

But as the theme of his work relates to concepts of authorship, truth, original and copy this biography might not be exactly correct. When Domenico Quaranta asked him : "According to my Google searches, you were born in Leipzig and Innsbruck, you are black and Caucasian, and you have said: “I usually give fake CVs when I am asked to give a CV.
