Jess Loseby is a digital artist based in Sussex. Her main “canvas” and “paint” is the Internet but she also works with interactive installations, video, mobile phone media, prints and performance. Her work is based around “the cyber-domestic aesthetic”; scrutinising the small, the domestic and her ideas of “amplified reality”; the “beautiful seams” present in these days of ubiquitous computing.
Loseby’s artwork is eclectic and international: from a commission to teach children self-portraiture with mobile phones to digital set design for the Met Theatre in Hollywood. She was the first UK artist to undertake a totally virtual 6-month artist residency (with Furtherfield.org). She has received number of grants and awards including Daniel Langlois (Canada), Dino Villani International Prize (Premio Suzzara, Italy) and A.C.E grants. She exhibits in galleries and festivals nationally and internationally including London, Los Angeles, New York, Croatia, Spain and Brazil.
As artist-curator, her projects include the digital pocket gallery, the cyber-kitchen and disturb.the.peace (angry women). She was a formerly a lecturer (from BA to MA level) until the university decided that they really didn’t know what to do with a digital art and ran, screaming, back to the paintbox.Try to avoid the staving artist bit (SO last millennium) Jess Loseby now also designs accessible (disability-friendly) websites (including this one) for her family company Access-By Design.
She has 3 children, 2 wheels, 1 husband and 0 time.
