JAMES BLOOM
James Bloom is a London-based artist who creates perpetually changing digital artworks that mimic and reflect on the systems in which they are based. Using heterogeneous visual material found across the internet, he processes and degenerates it, making it contingent on live dynamic data and interactions until its fixed values become unstable.
His online art systems have their directionality and utility upended or stripped away, everting the problematic nature of the networks they inhabit and offering the possibility of alternative forums of presence. He also employs a variety of material production techniques to examine systematization and optimization in culture and aesthetics.
His work is in the permanent collection of the Francisco Carolinum Museum in Linz, and he has exhibited at The Wrong Biennale, Art Basel, and W1 Curates, among others. His works have been shown in London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Dubai, and Singapore.
