About the artist
Jaygo Bloom is a visual artist born in Manchester in 1972. He was awarded a first class at Glasgow School of Art in 1996 and studied an MSc in Electronic Imagery at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in 2006. Currently Jaygo divides his time between personal art practice and the production of tour visuals and live visual performance for Franz Ferdinand and 1990′s seminal Techno Act – Planetary Assault Systems. Over the past year in support of a Paul Hamlyn award Jaygo has been collaborating with partners from Londons Voicelab Orchestra (Major Havoc. 2010). Early involvement with the Glasgow AV collective Pointless Creations, and The Chateau Arts Space offered Jaygo the opportunity to perform and develop his practice within clubs and Electronic Art festivals worldwide. Incorporating this with his academic arts training, Jaygo is now involved with a multi-disciplinary practice of colour works combining 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional video streams in the production of interactive installation, mashed up games systems, video works and digital live performance.
