Culture Now: Daniel Keller

Berlin-based US artist Daniel Keller presents on his practice ahead of his inclusion in m-Health (Cell Project Space, 25 Jul – 2 Aug 2015). Keller’s wide-ranging output engages with issues at the intersection of economics, technology, culture and collaboration. His current research focus is on speculative notions of progress, technological disruption and reaction from the perspective of a post-studio 'prosumer imagineer' artist operating within the global networked economy.
