Currently Brueckner is working with technology in relation to painting/drawing with the figure/body and visual mathematics. His current research involves dialectics between the processes of haptic and technological image making. These processes explore the pictorial characteristics of paint in conjunction with digital pictorial spaces in print and live feed video projections. Often the imagery references these processes and the ambivalence regarding the cultural impact by technology on the body and the way it feels and perceives.
