About
Jess Loseby is a digital artist who works with net.art, interactive installations, video, mobile phone media, print, photography and performance.
Her work is based around the cyber-domestic aesthetic; scrutinising the small, the domestic and her ideas of Amplified Reality (AR); created in the beautiful seams 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) for four years until the university decided that they really didn’t know what to do with a digital art and ran, screaming back to the paintbox.
Jess Loseby supports her art by being lead designer for a website company that specialises in accessible (disability-friendly) websites. She has 2 stunning teenage daughters, a 7 year old son who believes he is superhero, a husband who is a superhero in denial, a crap wheelchair and an assistance dog who is stranger than all of them put together.
