JESSICA FIELD

Jessica Field lives and works in Canada. She is interested in the impact of our environment on mental health, and how our individual histories and temperaments influence the ways that we live out our lives. Jessica works with drawing, installation, video, and performance to create artificial intelligent systems that study the dynamic theory of personality, bringing together both psychology research and computer science.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in institutions such as the Malmo Konstall Gallery, Sweden; Museum Tingley, Switzerland; Kunsthaus Graz, Austria; and the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, Canada. Field’s work has received two honourable mentions at the Vida Life Art and Artificial Life International Award Competition for her Artificial Life projects SICB (Semiotic Investigation into Cybernetic Behaviour), 2004 and Maladjusted Ecosystem, 2008.

Jessica Field teaches at Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto. She received her AOCAD at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Toronto, Ontario, and her MFA at Concordia University in Montreal.
