BIO

Ryan Dewey is an artist, researcher, and founder of GEOCOG, an interdisciplinary research and advisory practice. His work operates at the intersection of landscape, material systems, and institutional practice, translating sustained field observation into frameworks, objects, archives, and applied strategies for understanding complex environments.

Through installations, moving-image works, field research, and experimental fabrication, Dewey develops protocols for close looking. These structured encounters help viewers perceive hidden patterns, infer environmental processes, and read landscapes differently. This same methodology informs GEOCOG, where he works across geospatial intelligence, environmental observation, organizational knowledge, and strategic planning for public, private, and cultural institutions.

His artist archive is held by the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art (acquired 2021). His work has been engaged by Donna Haraway, Warren Ellis, Nicola Twilley, and Virginia Burrus, among others, through interdisciplinary dialogue across contemporary art, environmental humanities, and design.
