Bio
Jason Irla hates running, is an artist, heirloom tomato enthusiast, and Detroit native. As is only appropriate of someone hailing from Detroit, Irla produces videos concerned with issues of decay, corruption and cannabalization—although mainly in relation to digital media and technology. Irla has worked in a variety of media but is currently preoccupied with video as a way of exploring issues of time, perception and memory. Irla came to video work accidently through a crisis in painting where he found video was a medium perfectly suited to continuing a dialogue with painting without having to constantly clean brushes or stretch canvases. Jason currently lives in Balitimore, Maryland with his fiancé and fellow artist, Chloe Watson and their cat Harvey.
