Commissioned Artists
The FurtherStudio Artists in Residence for 2003-2004 are:
Jess Loseby - [Residency Project] - [www.rssgallery.com ] Rich White - - [Residency Project] - [www.counterwork.co.uk] Bea Gibson - coming soon
Rich White uses various themes and ideas to explore the meaning and value of art including art history, context, perception, time-travel, decontextualisation and censorship. Create/RemoveFor the Furtherstudio residency Rich is creating a project with two parallel bodies of work under the headings 'create' and 'remove'. In 'Create' Rich is exploring the theoretical, conceptual and practical possibilities of creating an 'original' net/software artwork - that is, a work that remains unique in a digital environment. 'Remove' concerns censoring art available on the net. The result will form a comprehensive archive of censored artworks. One half creates - art is made by addition. One half removes - art is made by subtraction. Visitors are invited to contribute to both strands of the project by emailing html, javascript and actionscript for use in 'readymade' net.artworks in 'create' and sending in or suggesting artworks to be censored for 'remove'.

Digital/ net artist, Jess Loseby kicked off FurtherStudio with her project 'bob@no-where'. She is primarily a Flash artist and has initiated a number of acclaimed participatory net art works such as Cyber-Kitchen and currently exhibits her work on Furtherfield.org and Rhizome.org. As an early user of the software Jess Loseby also played a key role in its early development.During the course of the virtual residency Jess sent emails to 'Bob' with html, flash and video artworks attached. These emails took the form of love letters, hate mail and trivial musings constructed from the artist's emotional take-over and transformation of artists' works archived within the furtherfield.org website. Viewers of the residency were able to take on the persona of 'Bob' by sending mail (with their own artworks attached if they wish), using a specially constructed webmail environment.
