About

J. J. Hellerman works as an artist-researcher, tracking how novel technologies alter the structures through which we communicate and archive.

Working across expanded print mediums (layered transparent prints, 3D-printed and sculptural forms, found and original imagery), she examines the material structures of archives and distribution systems, from the traditional codex and printing press to contemporary CNC fabrication, social media algorithms, AI, and blockchain.

By materialising the volatile architectures of the archive and the systems that carry it, Hellerman shifts focus from content to form, exposing a latent agency in the mechanisms that form, store, and communicate political myths.

Her practice bridges studio work and historiographic research, producing installations, prints, text, and curatorial projects. She currently lives in London and keeps ongoing projects in New York.
