James Bloom is a London-based artist who makes perpetually-changing digital artworks which mimic and reflect on the systems in which they are based. Using visual material found across the internet, he processes, degenerates and makes it contingent on live dynamic data and interactions until its fixed values become unstable.

His online art systems connect their participants in real-time but have directionality and utility stripped away, upending the problematic nature of the networks they exist within and offering the possibility of alternative forums of presence. He also uses a variety of new material production techniques to examine systematisation and optimisation in society 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.
