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.

more questions....


more questions in my search for what net collaboration means if anyone
fancies...

interaction v. collaboration On the net does 'true' collaboration' involve
collaboration with the user ie interaction rather than artists? How far are
there two forms interchangeable?

Should net collaboration involve organisation/structure, and if so how
much? Or should collaboration indicate 'free for all' such as open ftp
access, interaction in terms of added text, elements etc etc Should this
be moderated/curated?

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">hmmm, I'm not aware of a sarcastic

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">I think your right in that it is a
very british thing. I use it a lot less that at
first on the list, primarily because when I did I usually received hurt and

The irony being I usually </span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt"><i>was </i>being

and is hard to communicate through email. I have to say Americans
(particularly) just don't seem to use sarcasm and irony the way brits do,
or at least it doesn't seem to be so ingrained in their humour. That's not
to say it's a bad thing, but just it does lead to being misunderstood
sometimes. T.whids dictionary definition gave it as 'intending to
humiliate and the oxford says it's 'contemptiously mocking'. I have to
say I don't think it's used by British people like that. Mocking, yes but
without the contempt (most of the time:-) It's so deep in british culture
that I think we also use it without even thinking about it. I blame
Blackadder...</span></font></div>

Hi Liza
I'm not sure how old your kids are, but have you looked at 'the dark is
rising' series by Susan Cooper? I think you all might like them as they
are somewhere between harry potter, winnie the pooh , tao and with
some celtic trimming:-)
cheers,
jess.
