Richard Dupont, a New York-based artist born in 1968, has created a career-spanning multimedia interrogation of surveillance culture and technological ubiquity. This definitive volume, spanning more than two decades, surveys Dupont's works and writings, revealing their prescient bearing on a paradigm-shifting period of technological and cultural transformation. Dupont's work is deeply rooted in a complete digital model of his body created between 2002 and 2004 and 3D body scans obtained while participating in a US military anthropometry study. This overview reveals how Dupont's work mirrors digital technology's infiltration of our lives and the extent to which the commodification and virtualization of the body have become commonplace in our culture of "self-surveillance." Illustrations emphasize the physical aspect of Dupont's works, where traditional materials and techniques such as plaster and bronze casting play a role, as do the use of experimental techniques and materials such as cast polyurethane, poured silicone, 3D-printed resins, digital scanning, and the manipulation of found objects.
