Ella Bissett Johnson is an artist and lecturer specialising in digital art and art theory. She works collaboratively to make cutting-edge artworks that span many contexts (both real and virtual spaces). As a digital artist, Ella's art practice is concerned with the concept that digital technologies have opened up a space formally latent in art. This space lies outside of the artwork itself. It can be found in the viewer. In literature the subjective, 'I' is a vacuum, which by its absence absorbs the reader into the work. Interactivity is the 'I' of digital art.
Ella Bissett Johnson was awarded the first Digital Art Fellowship at Digswell Arts Trust, Hertfordshire 2002. Ella has a BA(Hons) in Critical Fine Art Practice from the University of Brighton, and won a scholarship to study BA equiv. Experimental Design in Japan (1999).
