James Critchlow (b. 2001) is a UK based artist oscillating between sculpture, photography and computation. With a focus on the fading boundary between digital and physical space, his work transitions fluidly between these two previously distinct binaries.
Within his work the digital becomes sculpture and the sculpture becomes digital. Often, The photograph mediates this exchange. Questioning its condition in the age of big data, algorithms and machine learning, for Critchlow the photograph is a material to be manipulated digitally and physically. Ultimately, it is data, a component, and a starting point.
