Jess Loseby
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)"
Jess Loseby also spends two days a week converting unsuspecting Fine Art students to the dark (digital) side at her local university, designs accessible (disability-friendly) websites for her company Access-By Design and has 3 children, 2 wheels, 1 husband and often has no clue about anything.
