Art Jones works with sculpture, expanded media, and installation. He was raised and lives in the Bronx, New York. Jones object-based work concerns the inter-relationships between collective memory, history and power at specific locations. His live media performance involves intensive recombination of antithetical video and audio elements into a cacophonous synthesis. His multimedia and installation work often incorporates site-specific projection surfaces and interactive elements. Jones’ work often utilizes mainstream media and popular culture as raw material to be sampled, remixed, and re-combined in order to examine implicit meanings or suggest new ones. Working with a particular genre or mode, the work seeks to explore, destroy or re-orient the conventions of how information is transmitted and received. Jones’ films and media art projects have been presented internationally, most recently at Museum of Modern Art New York; Times Art Center Berlin and Beursschouwburg, Brussels.
