Jamal Hussain (b. 1984) is a New Media Artist working at the intersection of technology and science. He is of
Indian descent, raised in Miami, FL, and currently resides in Austin, TX. Jamal's background in the
technology industry has informed his current practice of using the power of light via the application of
media artifacts. His work explores the human story and our deep connection to the planet through media
installations, digital sculptures, and immersive experiences. His designs blur the boundaries between
physical and digital spaces, challenging perceptions and encouraging reflection on our surroundings and
inner realities. His works have been shown at established programs such as Ivester Contemporary, Big
Medium, Co-Lab Projects, Arts Fort Worth, DaDaLab, Dougherty Arts Center, and Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center. In his last residency, Willow House in Terlingua, Texas, he created a
site-specific media installation related to climate change effects on the Rio Grande. As an endeavor to
support the arts, he started ‘Blank Canvas’, an artist residency using his studio and equipment which
allows digital artists in the community to bring their online visuals to a physical 360 immersive
environment.
