Jesse Wolpert is a maker of the absurd, the meaningful and the human. She has worked as a translator, jeweller, plumber, teacher and spent 6 long years in a merchant bank. An art critic named her a one-trick-pony. An academic described her as a device-artist. An exhibition visitor called her an assembleur. A colleague asked “but why would you make that?”. Her mentor said ‘Get Serious!’. She is currently a Lecturer in Computational Arts at Goldsmiths where she directs the flagship MFA programme in Computational Arts.
