James Bloom is a London-based artist who makes perpetually-changing digital artworks which mimic and reflect on the networks in which they are based. Using heterogeneous visual material found across the internet, he processes, degenerates, then makes them contingent on live dynamic data and interactions until the imagery and its significance becomes unstable.

His online art systems have direction and utility upended or stripped away, everting the problematic nature of the networks they exist within, while offering the possibility of alternative forums of online presence. His physical series examine the presence and legitimacy of found digital objects and automated production processes within formal painting and sculpture.

The series ‘BURNER’ explores the idea of constant impermanence and the disappearance of the present moment due to the perpetual flow of new information in online systems. The ‘GOLD’ collection engages critically with the NFT art market by tracking its collectors’ behaviour and changing the pieces they own in real time, so their market activity is represented abstractly inside the frame.

His work is in the permanent collection of the Francisco Carolinum Museum, Linz and he has exhibited at The Wrong Biennale, Art Basel and W1 Curates among others. His works have been shown in London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Seattle, Dubai and Singapore.
