Jess loseby - digital artist

 

data pools

Statement.

I was brought up in a house next to the beach and spent most my childhood, knee deep in pools of opaque water, grasping at pebbles or small creatures and looking for treasure under a chalked 'jolly roger'.

In these days of ubiquitous computing, the semiotics of pools, streams and pirates games have broadened.

For the Ocean project I harvested the actual National Oceanography Centre, Southampton website content and have pirated visual and textual data and to produce a rock pool.

Regarding collaboration for this project...

will turner: you cheated!

captain jack: pirate..!

Bio

Jess Loseby is a digital artist. 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 exhibited internationally.

Her work scrutinises the small, the domestic and her ideas of "amplified reality" and the “beautiful seams” between self and the screens that surround us.
