### About Brandon A. Dalmer

Brandon A. Dalmer (b.1984, Canada) received his BFA from the Alberta University of the Arts and his MFA from Concordia University. Their work explores the way images are generated and the tenuous understanding we have with expanding technologies. Through the use of fabrication, generative processes and robotic assistance his painting practice aims to contextualize and elucidate the often unseen processes underlying our everyday lives. This also acts as a method of archive. His practice is open-source allowing others to expand upon it, granting a form of technological undeath.&#x20;

Dalmer has participated in a number of residencies and exhibitions across Canada and internationally. He currently lives and works in Tiohtiá:ke/Montréal. Their work can be found at [http://www.badalmer.com](/studio-notes/readme.md)

### What is this all for?

This project began in 2019 as a way to archive my research practice. After exploring various platforms, I settled on GitBook in 2024. I share my research in the hope that others might follow along, expand upon it, or even be inspired to create their own projects. I owe a great deal to fellow researchers and artists who have opened up their practices and shown a willingness to share their research in a similar way. This is a living document.&#x20;
