Jamie House
Biography
Jamie House is an internationally exhibiting artist Camera Obscura builder and educator. He graduated from University of the Creative Arts England with a BA (Hons) in Photomedia (2004) and successfully completed his PGCE in post compulsory education in 2010 at the University of Plymouth.
Jamie’s work explores how we look at the world through representation by critically analysing the medium and apparatus of photography. Employing a range of alternative processes to the latest digital imaging techniques.
Image production and dissemination are at the core of Jamie’s practice. Jamie’s recent project `stranger` sets to show the viewer how we share and store images on-line through social networks and image sharing websites.
This project is a result of Jamie producing images of other people’s memories that I have mined from the internet on various social media sites. These people have befriended me online but are not people I have met in person.
Each image is produced by a long exposure focussed on a computer screen while browsing a stranger’s social media images. The resulting images are layers of images and time within someone’s life.
Recent exhibitions include:
2011-Parallex Art Fair, La Galleria Pall Mall London
2011-Print & Design Now, SW1 Gallery, Bearspace London and Art Fair TBA
2011- For Japan, Hotshoe Gallery London.
