jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today. Using this software as his primary medium, Sebastian Schmieg transforms and weaves effects, one after another, to form a kaleidoscopic visual tapestry. Originally created for the web browser in 2012, the piece is now available for the first time in physical form as an Infinite Object.

This piece was curated by Rhizome, a leading art organization dedicated to championing born-digital art and culture through commissions, exhibitions, digital preservation, and software development.

Artist Bio

Sebastian Schmieg examines the algorithmic circulation of images, texts and bodies. At the center of his practice are playful interventions into found systems that explore the hidden – and often absurd – realities behind the glossy interfaces of our networked society. Schmieg works in a wide range of media such as video, website, installation, artist book, custom software and lecture performance. Schmieg’s works have been shown at, among others, The Photographers’ Gallery, London; Rhizome, New York; Transmediale, Berlin; HeK, Basel; NRW-Forum, Düsseldorf; Panke Gallery, Berlin. He lives and works in Berlin and Dresden.
