About

Chris Myhr is a media artist based in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada). Myhr’s work is ecologically-motivated and focuses on materiality, place, and the interplay between humans, non-humans and the environment.

Since 2012, Myhr has been developing an extensive body of work that examines our complex interconnections with water.

Although Myhr’s work is predominantly within the realm of digital media, his practice is grounded in the crucial role of embodiment - the senses as the juncture at which our internal and external worlds meet, intermingle, and shape perspectives about self/other, subject/object, here/there, micro/macro.

Myhr is invested in Euro-Western and Indigenous epistemologies and ontological frameworks that blur binaries and encourage postcolonial thought that subverts hierarchies and anthropocentrism - calling for balance and reciprocity between the human, nonhuman, animate, and inanimate.

Chris Myhr’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and his portfolio was awarded the Prefix Prize in Contemporary Art in 2021.
