These artworks result from a performance piece during which Famous New Media Artist Jeremy Bailey used his Lean Artist Pro gestural painting software to craft sock works in direct response to audience feedback. Modelled on the fail fast, succeed sooner mantras of successful startups, Bailey’s project deploys user-centred iterative methods to create works of cultural power, economic value and undeniable usefulness.

Self-styled “Famous New Media Artist” Jeremy Bailey’s inventive and endearingly self-deflating performance practice collides the vulnerabilites and embarrassments of physical embodiment with the tricks of internet marketing and digital imaging’s sleek pictographics. His work has featured in an international roster of venues and festivals, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Tate Liverpool; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Transmediale, Berlin; Museums Quartier, Vienna; and the New Museum, New York.

Bailey developed and led PRAKSIS's sixth residency, The Artist Entrepreneur, held in collaboration with The Moving Museum and UKS in Summer 2017.
