James Bloom is a London-based artist who uses technological innovation as a method to push the components of art into formats that generate new perceptual problems.

His online artworks connect their participants in real-time but have utility and functionality engineered out, upending the structure of the networks they exist within and revealing possibilities for autonomy in those systems.

He takes deliberately complex code-based and material production techniques and combines them in unintended ways, often to the point of failure, triggering unusual new states.

His work is in the permanent collection of the Francisco Carolinum Museum, Linz and he has exhibited at The Wrong Biennale, Art Basel, Strouk Gallery and Foundry among others. His works have been shown in London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Dubai and Singapore.
