James Bloom uses technological innovation as a method to generate perceptual problems. His online artworks connect their participants in real-time but have functionality engineered out, upending the structure of the networks they exist within and revealing possibilities for autonomy. 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 work is in the permanent collection of the ZKM Museum, Karlsruhe and Francisco Carolinum Museum, Linz. He has exhibited at MOMI, ZKM, The Wrong Biennale and Strouk Gallery among others. His works have been shown in London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Dubai and Singapore.
