Jason Kofke attempts to lessen the divide between scientific specialization and lay knowledge. Kofke focuses on issues of climate change, race, gender, science and industry in the early 21st century. Kofke produces works in the form of videos, drawings, installations, performances and land-art of science, environment, and culture. Kofke understands a culture through media that has been abandoned, discarded, or outdated. He uses art as salvage ethnography to attribute meaning to events and artifacts of the past. His projects empathize with communal historical experiences and attempt to make sense of the present through a re-exploration of a common history.
