BIO
Jess Loseby is a digital artist from the UK whose main medium is the internet. Her work ranges from small and intimate online installationsto large scale digital projections and video. In a relatively brief time, her work has become known internationally such as the ‘cyber-kitchen’ (lead artist and co-curator) and ‘the Digital Pocket’ (lead artist and co-curator), which is currently listed in the Whitney Artport. In August 2003, she became the first virtual artist in residence at Furtherfield.org (FurtherStudio) one of the first virtual artists residencies of its kind. She has exhibited in digital festivals such as the Split Film Festival, Pixxelpoint 2003, FILE 2003 and the Stuttgart Filmwinter. In 2003 she created interactive digital sets for the production of ‘The Dadaists’ at The Met Theater in Hollywood. Also in 2003 she was also awarded a grant from the Daniel Langlois Foundation, with the resulting work 'views from the ground floor...' being currently exhibited internationally.
Thematically, her projects continue her fascination with borderlands and ‘beautiful seams’ between the ubiquitous worlds of computing and the ‘real’ (domestic). A staunch opponent of new media's absorption with VR, her on and offline installations create flows and streams in the relational space of art and technology. Loseby’s unashamedly low-tech approach to new media build comparisons of the network and digitally (in its frustrations, attention to triviality and repetition) as absurdly compatible to the female domestic routine.
Jess Loseby has 3 children, 2 wheels, 1 husband and 0 days off.

Hi Eryk,
This could seem like an attack and I want to say please don't take it as
such as its not. I am genuinely interested in on your response to
mouchette - and I want to find out more your distinction of sexual
exploitation.
How do you place your comments in light of your ascii nudes being
drawn from the 'cam girls' culture. Is it because of mouchettes
everlasting child status whereas the 'cam girls' are adult women and
thus consenting? Does it make a difference to the piece if the creator is
male of female? For example, if the creator of mouchette is female
could it be argued by some that mouchette is an valid investigation of
female pre-adolescent sexuality (and the male gaze) whereas your own
male gaze of the ascii nudes is questionable as you are (at its base
level) a male gazing . It could be argued that you dehumanize the nude
through ascii thus making the fact (and the reasons why) the 'cam girls'
exist acceptable. If the cam girls are 'acceptable' as art why the
distinction? Is it because the female adult body falls under aesthetic
where as the idea of a sexualized 13 year old falls under abject? These
aren't necessarily my own views of either your work or mouchette, I am
just wondering if there is a line and if so where....
