Jeff Weber is an artist based in New York, working at the intersection of conceptual art and experimental cinema.
Weber's short films — which are all shot in 35mm and frequently less than one minute in length — occupy two distinct realms. In lyrical documents, such as those of a university picket line (Picket Line, 2022) or a flock of pigeons competing for seeds outside his window, Weber is concerned with the personal and quotidian; while in his 35mm computational films, he adopts mathematics, machine learning and algorithms to create frame by frame sequences of black, white and grey tones, corresponding to scores generated by artificial neural networks he codes himself, sine wave interferences, and, at times, the recorded brain activity of their viewers.
Solo exhibitions include Image Storage Containers at the Centre National de l'Audiovisuel, Luxembourg (2023); Serial Grey at Carré d'Art, Nîmes (2021); Camouflage at lxbxh, Eindhoven (2020); and Mimetic Assimilation at Erna Hecey Gallery, Luxembourg (2019). His work has also been shown at de Appel, Amsterdam; Anthology Film Archives, New York; Kunstwerke Berlin; Belvedere 21, Vienna; and Casino – Forum d'art contemporain, Luxembourg. His work is held in public and private collections, including Fotomuseum Winterthur, Mudam Luxembourg, and the Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen.
Weber earned his MFA from La Cambre, Brussels, and was a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht. He holds a research fellowship (2024–2026) with the Thinking Tools group at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp, and lectures at Parsons School of Design, The New School, where he is currently teaching a seminar on photography and AI, Photography as a Form of Extended Cognition.
