James Bloom

James Bloom is a London-based artist who makes perpetually-changing digital artworks which mimic and reflect on the networks in which they are based. Using heterogeneous visual material found across the internet, he processes, degenerates, then makes the images contingent on live dynamic data and interactions so fixed categories become unstable.

His online art systems have directionality and utility upended or stripped away, everting the problematic nature of the networks they exist within, while offering the possibility of alternative forums of presence. He also uses a variety of new image and object production techniques to examine systematisation and optimisation in culture and aesthetics.

His work is in the permanent collection of the Francisco Carolinum Museum, 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.
