Aaron Flint Jamison's Information Art: From Veneer Magazine to Yale Union

Aaron Flint Jamison, an American artist, delves into the hidden aspects of information via diverse projects. His magazine, Veneer, launched in 2007 with a plan for 18 issues, showcases contributions from the realms of art, science, and technology, utilizing material from textbooks and industry journals. Each issue features distinct production methods, including the 'unprintable' blue section in issue four and a yoga class conducted on CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Distribution techniques involve 'reverse shoplifting' and 'reverse advertising.' Since issue six, Veneer has been created at Yale Union (YU), which Jamison and Curtis Knapp established in 2008 in Portland, Oregon. YU houses a recording studio, print workshop, and gallery, hosting projects like a George Kuchar retrospective and a Yuji Agematsu exhibition. Jamison’s works frequently lack explanatory text, examining the flow of information across different mediums.
