Jordan Metz is an interdisciplinary artist and designer using creative coding, performance, and sculpture to explore digital identity in the context of surveillance culture. They create interactive computer vision systems as a way to generate embodied relationships with technology. Harnessing the transcendent magic of new media, their practice involves 3D scanning, ceramics, and audiovisual programming as a means of forging connections between the real and virtual worlds.
Jordan’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at CultureHub, Gray Area, SF Design Week, Boston Cyberarts, and Sister’s Room in Tbilisi, Georgia. They were an inaugural resident of Mozilla Foundation’s Creative Futures Counterstructures Residency at the Intersection of Art and Technology in San Francisco. They have also completed residencies at Gray Area and Lucky Break Studios in the Bay Area. Their thesis project at the Rhode Island School of Design Digital+Media MFA program, The Me I’ve Made For You, was shortlisted in the Artsthread x Gucci Global Design Graduate Show. They are currently a studio member at The Compound Gallery in Emeryville, CA.
