Jamal Hussain

Jamal Hussain (1984) is a New Media Artist working at the intersection of art, technology, and science. He is of Indian descent, raised in Miami, FL, and currently resides in Austin, TX. Jamal's background in technology has informed his current practice of using the power of light and projection mapping. As an emerging artist, he completed 12 media installations with themes relating to the human impact on Earth. Most recently, he was selected to participate in the Willow House residency in Terlingua, Texas where he created an immersive piece related to climate change effects on the Rio Grande. His last installation was featured at Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center in Austin. His work is experiential, sensorial, and symbolic. He is an active member of the DaDa Lab community, where his One Earth studio lives. As an endeavor to support the arts, he started ‘Blank Canvas’, an artist residency using his personal studio and equipment which allows digital artists in the community to bring their online visuals to a physical 360 immersive environment.
