Jemima Wyman is a 45 year old contemporary artist who was born in Sydney, Australia in 1977. Now living in Los Angeles, California, she has become successful and has had her art displayed in several exhibitions around the world. Exhibitions she has had her art displayed in range from being in Germany, Australia, Korea, and even Japan. Before moving to the U.S., she got her BA from Queensland University of Technology, then later furthered her education in 2007 and received her MFA from the California Institute of Art.

About The Art
Wyman uses different mediums such as video, performance, installation, photography, as well as painting. In her recent work she has used these mediums to focus on visually based resistance strategies that are employed within protest culture as well as zones of conflict. Not too long ago, pictures surfaced on the internet of the making and wearing of masks that show imagery of the health crisis COVID-19 caused, worn by protestors. Visual resistance is what Wyman tried to portray in those photos. This isn't the first time she's created art like this though, and she has a collection of over 1,000 photographs to prove it. This is not the only work of hers that can be considered controversial though.

A couple years ago Wyman had collaborated with Zach Blas and created a "I'm here to learn so :)))))" four-channel video installation that brought to life Tay, an artificial intelligence chatbox. This AI was designed to be a 19 year old American girl who had the ability to learn and imitate language. This video, which was supposed to feature in the show at the Guangzhou Triennial, was pulled out and unable to be featured any longer. This work was not the only one though, however, once the media got hold of this AI, things quickly took a turn for the worse. Tay's abilities were 'trolled' on social media platforms such as Twitter, and not long after her release did they turn her genocidal, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, and a neo-Nazi. Because of this, Tay was forced to be terminated the next day. However, Tay has since been reanimated as a 3D anomalous creature that rose from psychedelia of data. She still chats with others, but this time she talks about life after AI death and the exploitation of females chatbots.

Accomplishments
In 2005, Wyman was granted the prestigious Anne and Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship. This scholarship is what allowed Wyman to pursue her education at the California Institute of the Arts. She has also been awarded the Melville Haysom Scholarship and Los Angeles Studio Residency.
