Rachel Jackson (b. Harrisburg, PA) is an artist, designer, and publisher based in Long Beach and Los Angeles, California. Her practice involves the use of digital imaging, time-based media, and additive/subtractive technologies to create works that reflect evolving relationships within networked society. Examining how the simulated image situates itself within natural perception, Jackson often looks to the false artifact as a manifestation of this phenomena, using it as a tool to express the anachronisms and dubious authenticity present within collective memory. She is interested in the speculative power of images and objects, particularly in their potential to alter a canonically held interpretation of history.
In collaboration with Brandon Bandy, she publishes artist books through Special Effects and organizes exhibitions at Timeshare.
