Alan Kirker is an artist, thinker, communicator, and designer who researches, writes, creates, and assembles media, working in a variety of different formats. He applies his many skills to framing and elucidating ideas from popular culture, science, technology, spirituality, and the environment. Like an antenna, Alan picks up signals from the collective consciousness and rebroadcasts them from his unique, insightful vantage point. The work aims to provoke thought and challenge perceptions about ourselves and reality itself. He is a life-long learner and has worked extensively in the communications, design, education, and media production fields. Alan was born and raised in Montreal and lives in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada.

"The serious artist is the only person able to encounter technology with impunity, just because he is an expert aware of the changes in sense perception" (Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, 1964).
