Ian Rogers(alias arigato) is a Canadian new media artist & designer living in Montréal, Québec. He has worked extensively with the intercontextualization of manipulated photography, digitally conceived graphics, sound, and animation since 1994.

His focus is on the growing online digital arts medium as an interconnected evolution upon traditional arts, focusing on the new media/hypertext meme as an alternative to the traditional "white walls and wood floors" physically constrained gallery setting.

At present, his central interests are historicity within evolving contexts, and new media as a development upon fine art.
