Jaret Vadera (born 1976) is a Canadian artist working between New York, Toronto, and India.[1] Vadera works across media, primarily in the spaces where painting, photography, video installation, and new media intersect.[2]
Vadera was born in Toronto in 1976.[3] His mother and father both immigrated to Canada in the 1960s and 1970s as part of a large wave of immigration. Vadera's father was born in India and his mother in the Philippines. Vadera is of Indian, Filipino and Spanish descent. His parents were working-class immigrants who practiced different religions, and spoke different languages. Vadera describes how growing up in his family, in Toronto, at that particular time, "set the stage for his ongoing explorations into the ways that beliefs, codes, and processes of translation shape and control how we see."[4][5]
Vadera works across media, primarily in the spaces where painting, photography, video installation, and new media intersect.[8] Through his work, Vadera explores how different social, technological, biological, and cognitive processes shape and control the ways that we see the world around and within us.[9] He often takes "things" apart, and puts them back together in new ways. Rorschach tests, algorithms, maps, infographics, and logic paradoxes are often redeployed to locate ambivalent in-between spaces, to reveal malignant meanings, and to explore the poetics of representation.[9] Mixing metaphors, shifting historical and cultural references, and code switching are some of his key strategies.[4]
In parallel to his career as an exhibiting artist, Vadera has also been active as an organizer, programmer, curator, researcher, writer, editor, educator, and designer on projects that focus on using art as a catalyst for social change / justice.[10]
