Jeremy Bailey is a video and performance artist whose work is often confidently self-deprecating in offering hilarious parodies of new media vocabularies (Marisa Olson, Rhizome). He received his MFA in Art Media Studies from Syracuse University in 2006 and his work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and festivals internationally. Through Bailey's work works his "famous new media artist" persona demonstrates custom software of his own design. This software typically incorporates gestural interfaces and often augments reality in a way that Bailey satirically proposes makes us "much much more creative". Bailey applies his creative panache to help solve a diverse set of problems, from fascist oppression to city planning.
Bailey performed during AND Festival in 2011 and returns in 2012 for artists' residency hosted by FACT, setting off on a didactic problem solving journey across the northwest.
During the first phase of the residency in February Jeremy will be running a Computer Vision Workshop at FACT on Thursday 16 February at FACT, Liverpool.
Jeremy Bailey’s residency is proudly supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, FACT and Abandon Normal Devices festival.
