Biography
James Bloom uses technological innovation as a method to generate perceptual problems. He takes complex code-based and material production techniques and combines them in unintended ways, often to the point of failure, triggering new states. His software artworks change in real-time and often connect hundreds of participants online, but have functionality engineered out, upending the structure of the systems they exist within and revealing possibilities for autonomy.
He has exhibited at ZKM, the Museum of the Moving Image New York, Strouk Gallery Paris and Abu Dhabi Art among others. His works are in the permanent collection of ZKM and the Francisco Carolinum Museum.
