Cole investigates landscape, place, environment, and geography, through strata of observation, technology, subjectivity, and his surroundings. He uses traditional, historic and digital photographic mediums: GPS, environmental data sets, augmented sampling procedures, and classification to investigate our current present state. Cole received an interdisciplinary M.F.A. from the Maine College of Art, and has been working, living and observing while traveling throughout the county in a nomadic format. Over the last few years Cole has collaborated with the arts collective Spurse, and the non-profit art organization the Creative Material Group [CMG]. Recently he has lectured at The Boston Center for the Arts, The Maine College of Art, The University of Maine in Orono, and Syracuse University’s School of Architecture. At the present he is exploring ones ability to subsist within our contemporary environment, while furthering his inquirers into emergent and experimental photographic processes, perspectives, and applications.
