About
Doug Jones is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Michigan. His career as an artist and designer demonstrates 2 primary ways of working.
His independent work focuses on innovative and often immersive forms of contemporary cartography that work across disciplines, materials, and media. Jones' socially engaged/sculptural work in co-creation stems from his career in psychology and education.
By exploring contemporary anthropological cognitive psychology in the form of mind maps, his practice builds from a foundation that explores the meaning that we project onto things as well as the relationships within and about an image.
In each of his ways of working, Jones develops cutting edge digital and physical artifacts and experiences that explore overlapping psychological, social, economic, cultural, and technological structures and systems.
