Biography
Tyler Jacobsen a conceptual computer artist, performer, and musician, who has
developed an arts practice that integrates video production, database art, and
multimedia programming with experimental performance and social activism. He
received his BFA from the University of Texas at Austin. In 2003, Jacobsen was
awarded a full fellowship from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, earning an MFA in
Electronic Art.
Jacobsen s early networked interventionism projects garnered both criticism and
acclaim from media outlets such as Adbusters, MSNBC, CNN News, BBC World,
WIRED, and even the FBI for their brazen and subversive political statements, while
simultaneously earning him a place in the New Media art field. Jacobsen s work has
been exhibited and performed in galleries and festivals in the US and abroad, such
as Next 5 Minutes in Amsterdam, Transmediale in Berlin, The Institute of
Contemporary Art in London, MassMoCA, Centraal Museum Utrecht, and the
Museum of Vojvodina in Novi Sad, Serbia. He is the recipient of numerous grants
and awards, including commissions for the creation of new artwork from Franklin
Furnace and Rhizome, and has been published by Autonomedia in Data Browser 01:
Economizing Culture, for his work exploring resistant strategies on digital
technologies.
Jacobsen s work has gradually shifted to conceptualized and at times playful
investigations of society s interaction with the omnipresent and ever-changing
technological landscape. Stylized in a nexus of past, present, and future,
Jacobsen s work often subtly disrupts society s collective psychological
expectations of time and progress. These themes are explored in various projects,
from Cathode Ray Mission, Jacobsen s technologically-restricted electronic
performance group that uses yesterday s innovations to constructively intervene in
the technological transformation of tomorrow, to his most recent parasitic
media project which uses open source APIs to investigate the exponentially-
growing global obsession with cultural worth based on internet presence.
Since 2008, Jacobsen has collaborated in the development of Medical Records
LLC, a vinyl-only record label, which brings obscure synthesized audio work from
past decades to a modern audience. Launched in 2010 to critical acclaim from
Pitchfork Media and Other Music, Jacobsen currently serves as Artistic Director and
Head Designer of this Seattle-based company.
