Born Manchester, NH
Lives and Works in California and New Hampshire.
"James Georgopoulos is a Greek-American visual artist born in 1966 in Manchester, New Hampshire, living and working in Venice, California. He works in sculpture, painting, photography, and video installation, using industrial materials, found objects, and film to examine power, technology, and pop culture.
In 2016, his solo exhibition The Earth is Flat at MAMA Gallery in Los Angeles was among the first major gallery shows to address artificial intelligence as a subject. The exhibition featured four video sculptures — Luddite, a repurposed Detroit assembly-line robot with a video screen showing a human eye; Zeus, a quantum-computer replica that beats with the artist's own heartbeat; Weight Watcher, a 1940s refrigerator fitted with a surveillance camera; and Autonomous X12, a driverless-car chassis displaying real-time AI data. The show argued that technology had become an indissoluble part of human history, a decade before AI became a mainstream cultural concern."
