Marija Bozinovska Jones (MBJ/ MBJ Wetware*) explores links between social, computational and organic architectures. Working across audiovisual formats, installation, ephemeral mediums and in live context, her works revolve around technological amplification and unpack cryptic ways of forging subjectivity. MBJ often maps biochemical onto algorithmic components, probing notions of selfhood from subatomic level to networked presence on planetary scale and beyond.

Grounded in a belief that a worldmaking is an intrinsically collective process, MBJ regularly collaborates with researchers, programmers, holistic practitioners and other artists.
