Daniel Laskarin's practice is object based, materially and philosophically rooted. Much of his work investigates the ways in which art can generate the sensory experience of consciousness. Some of his work does entirely other things. Understanding that the "expanded field" is blown utterly apart, Laskarin makes things that stay together, that find their own order in a condition of disorder, and that at the same time refuse that which orders everything. He sometimes incorporate photography and video, optics, robotics systems, installation and sound and have been involved with set design, public image projections and several large-scale public commissions.
Laskarin has exhibited in Canada and internationally, and currently teaches at the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Victoria in Western Canada.
