Derek Toomes
Greensboro, NC
Derek Toomes is an artist who lives and works in Greensboro, North Carolina. He serves as an
Assistant Professor in the Department of Interior Architecture at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro. Derek received his MFA in New Media and Installation in 2017 from
UNCG.
As a practicing and exhibiting artist, Derek's work is dynamic and interdisciplinary. He
utilizes technology as a medium in order to accentuate the digital realm as an amplified
dimension of shared human experience. His work deals in the currencies of imagery, video,
data, and quanta, grafting these experiences within sculptural forms, often kinetic or
environmental in nature. This work ponders the scale of human and geological time, the
persistence of memory, and the ever-expanding digital velocity which reconditions our
understanding of the intimate and of the communal.
