Marija Bozinovska Jones (MBJ/ MBJ Wetware) explores links between social, computational and organic architectures.
Working across audiovisual formats, installation, with ephemeral mediums and in live context, her pieces probe technocapitalist amplification and cryptic ways of forging subjectivity. MBJ's work proposes expansive notions of selfhood from subatomic level to networked presence on planetary scale and beyond.
Grounded in a belief that worlding is an intrinsically collective process, she regularly collaborates with researchers, programmers, holistic practitioners and other artists.
MBJ is a dharma practitioner who has asked for ordination; her life-work manifests wisdom traditions practiced with a sangha community centered around meditation retreats.
MBJ has presented work among others at: Whitechapel Gallery (London); transmediale/ Haus der Kulturen den Welt (Berlin); CTM/ Berghain and Deutschlandradio Kultur (Berlin) as the recipient of the Radio Labs award; Chronus Art Centre (Shanghai); Sonic Acts Academy (Amsterdam); Rewire (the Hague); MUTEK (Montreal and Buenos Aires); Tate Exchange/ Tate Modern (London); Wysing Art Center (Wysing) and at Somerset House (London) as a resident studio artist.
MBJ finished postgraduate studies in Computational Art at Goldsmiths in London. She previously attended multilingual public education in Europe and the USA, developing avid interest in spoken and later in computer languages. In parallel, she attended the State Music and Ballet Conservatorium in Skopje from an early age, learning notation systems prior to alphanumericals.
