ARTBASE (3)
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.

Re: New Net.Art From Eryk Salvaggio
eric- hi
I really like what you have done here. I've also questioned the
apparent absent of the nude and tried to use it in my work but I don't
think as successfully as you've done here. Do you think that part of this
[absence] might be as a result of the conscious rejection on the part of
the
net artist (particularly in the early days) to deny the place of the
'real' or the 'body' on the net?. Maybe in an effort to abandon the
constraints of the old school training or perhaps escape the formulas
and
styles of the the traditional idea of the artist. New representations
around the
'new thematics' such as space, play, interactivity replaced the 'old'
investigations of the body: form, flesh,sensuality..... I wonder wether
this rejection will (or has) led to a crisis of representation. (where
are the women doing this...???? ) How, and even if the net.artist can
represent
the body. I feel its currently seen as 'not the done thing'. I guess the
high levels of pornography on the net has also made the artist 'shy' of
developing the nude in net.art. For fear of the category - from the
search
engine to the net museum - grouping things like the nude with
pornography.
The middle-class horror of the net.nanny; that nudity as a subject not fit
for artists working in an environment where children might see (dear
me!)
Probably repeating questions already asked, but you know my 'thing'
for
the domestic. Skin is about as domestic as you can get. I'd like to see
much more of the kind of work you've been doing... cheers, jess. > >

the cyber-kitchen
the cyber-kitchen opened today!
'the cyber-kitchen' (http://www.the-cyber-kitchen.com) a collaborative
net artists installation opened today, Tuesday 23rd July.
Curated and created by UK independent net.artist Jess Loseby and run
on a budget of 50p and a packet of crisps - the project reaches in to
the corporate, impersonal space of the internet and quite literally drags
you down into the dirty dishes...
33 artists (established and emerging) based in the UK, USA, Romania,
Spain, Croatia, France (amongst others) open the project with new
works being added daily. The artwork includes digital
photography, video, interactive animation, digital painting and text-
based projects.
Artists are invited to choose an 'object' within the
cyber-kitchen for interpretation and inspiration. The cyber-kitchen
includes a 'hob' where interactive poetry laments the lover that will
never cook, a 'dark doorway' that takes you out of the the kitchen and
down a human throat, a 'teapot' that both ridicules and celebrates the
tea-drinker and a mouse-hole, where inside the mice are planing
domination of the kitchen...and then rest of the world!

the cyber-kitchen
net artists installation opened today, Tuesday 23rd July.
Curated and created by UK independent net.artist Jess Loseby and run
on a budget of 50p and a packet of crisps - the project reaches in to
the corporate, impersonal space of the internet and quite literally drags
you down into the dirty dishes...
33 artists (established and emerging) based in the UK, USA, Romania,
Spain, Croatia, France (amongst others) open the project with new
works being added daily. The artwork includes digital
photography, video, interactive animation, digital painting and text-
based projects.
Artists are invited to choose an 'object' within the
cyber-kitchen for interpretation and inspiration. The cyber-kitchen
includes a 'hob' where interactive poetry laments the lover that will
never cook, a 'dark doorway' that takes you out of the the kitchen and
down a human throat, a 'teapot' that both ridicules and celebrates the
tea-drinker and a mouse-hole, where inside the mice are planing
domination of the kitchen...and then rest of the world!
