Desktop Residency was founded in 2012 by Barnie Page and John Henry Newton as an online exhibition platform that presented artists' desktop wallpapers that are free to download. We saw it as a decentralised digital exhibition that took place across all the devices that used the artworks as their wallpapers.
Desktop Residency has exhibited the work of over 90 artists including Harold Offeh, Ryan Gander, Jasleen Kaur, Amalia Ulman, Nora Turato, Jesse Darling, Samara Scott, Bedwyr Williams and Heather Phillipson.
