Angus Hamilton James is an artist and writer based in Glasgow. His practice centres around recursive systems of photography, often highlighting entrenched material and chemical aspects of the discipline which are overlooked, and examining their presence on the picture plane. His work analyzes and draws lines between contemporary and traditional image making technologies, most frequently focusing on Artificial Intelligence

His work has taken the form of sculptural installations, moving image work, games, circuit boards, images, and prints, rarely lingering on one medium. Central to his practice is a questioning of the nature of photography and the concepts that are associated with it, connecting different phenomena in pedantic ways to highlight the systems by which we understand media. His work is informed by media studies, research papers, and artworks, and often attempts to bridge the gap between the two.
