Joshua Hoskins groeide op in Zuid-Californië en behaalde in 2004 een Bachelor of Fine Arts aan het San Francisco Art Institute. In 2017 verhuisde hij naar Berlijn, waar zijn studio momenteel gevestigd is. His creative process is based on the idea that the meaning of an artwork is unknown until it is engaged with by a viewer. This meaning is personal and resides in the viewer’s imagination, while the artist’s intention is merely a suggestion. Art’s cultural meaning is constantly evolving through the interaction between the culture in which it is embedded and the viewers. Hoskins also views art as a technology, which assumes new functionality. Unlike typical technology, which focuses on purpose, art as technology transcends beliefs and leads to new insights into reality. Art becomes an interface, altering perception and inviting viewers to look beyond the depicted image, offering a conduit to deeper understandings of the world.
