James Bloom is a London-based artist who uses technological innovation 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 directionality stripped away, upending the structure of the networks they exist within and revealing alternative possibilities for presence in those systems.
He takes deliberately complex combinations of digital and material production techniques and engages in a struggle to use them in unintended ways, often to the point of failure, triggering unexpected 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 and W1 Curates among others. His works have been shown in London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Dubai and Singapore.
