James Bloom

London

James Bloom is a London-based artist who uses technological innovation as a method to generate perceptual problems.

His online artworks connect their participants in real-time but have utility and functionality engineered out, upending the structure of the networks they exist within and revealing possibilities for autonomy.

He takes deliberately complex code-based and material production techniques and combines them in unintended ways, often to the point of failure, triggering new states.
