Richard Dupont

Richard Dupont (b. 1968) is a New York–born artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, drawing, relief, animation, and printmaking. Often described as post-digital, his work connects contemporary technology to the traditions of Body Art, Process Art, and Systems Art. Since 2004, when he underwent a full-body 3D scan at a General Dynamics facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dupont has used his own digitized body as primary source material, translating biometric data into two- and three-dimensional forms. His work examines how technology reshapes our understanding of identity, perception, and physical presence. By reworking scans of his body, Dupont explores ideas of self-measurement, self-surveillance, and the ways people track and construct their lives through data. The resulting works feel both intimate and analytical, merging human vulnerability with digital precision. Dupont earned a BA from Princeton University in Visual Art and Archaeology. 

His works are included in the collections of numerous museums including The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum, and The New York Public Library Print Collection among many others. In 2014, he was the recipient of the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) Visionary Award.
