Turbulence Artists' Studio: "Views from the Ground Floor" by Jess Loseby
http://turbulence.org/studios/loseby
"Views from the Ground Floor" is a networked installation that presents
the view of a pixilated domestic landscape which seems utopian in one
scene, and constricted and full of suppressed fears and desires in
another. Loseby draws unexpected and compelling comparisons between
female domesticity and cyber-culture, where low and high technology live
side-by-side in an uneasy partnership of repetition, interaction and
consequences. Her positioning in a wheelchair means these visions are
always viewed from the ground floor.
BIOGRAPHY
Jess Loseby is an established net and digital artist from the UK. Her
primary medium is the internet. She exhibits in national and
international projects both on and off line. Her work ranges from small
and intimate online installations to large scale digital projections and
video.
Loseby's unashamedly low-tech net installations and video build
comparisons of the network and digitality in its frustrations, attention
to triviality and repetition as absurdly compatible to the female
domestic routine. Themes dealing with individuality and cyber- identity
reoccur frequently as do the faces of her three children who seem to be
bound up irrevocably with her digital self.
Jess Loseby is young(ish), has three children, one husband and no time!
