Jay Rosenbaum

Dr J. Rosenbaum is a Melbourne-based artist, researcher, and lecturer working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital media, and critical theory. Their practice examines algorithmic bias and the representation of gender within computational systems, combining 3D modelling, AI, and extended reality to interrogate posthuman and postgender aesthetics.

J holds a PhD from RMIT University, where their research investigated AI perceptions of gender and the ways machine learning systems reproduce and distort cultural assumptions about identity. They lecture in Design at RMIT, teaching critical and creative approaches to emerging technologies through both theory and practice.

Their current research-based art practice includes a residency with the Centre for Projection Art, developing new work for Intraconnection (Federation Square, Now or Never Festival, and Bunjil Place). J’s creative and scholarly outputs have been presented internationally through exhibitions, publications, and conferences, exploring the social, aesthetic, and ethical implications of generative systems.

Previous recognition includes the City of Melbourne Covid-19 Arts Grant and the Midsumma Australia Post Art Prize. Across their academic and artistic work, J demonstrates how technological systems can both reflect and reimagine human diversity.
