Tom London

Tom London is the stage name of Thomas Webb. He is a contemporary artist, ethical hacker, video game developer, director, TEDx speaker, and magician. The theme of his work explores how society interacts with technology and the effect of social media and AI on mental health. His artwork is programmed into electronic installations using real-time data sources, AI and computer algorithms.

London is best known for his performances on Season 12 of the popular talent show "America's Got Talent." He was one of WIRED magazine's 2017 Next Generation speakers.

In 2019, Webb wrote and directed a fashion film for Valentino and Mytheresa. The film was a part of a series of installations and artworks created for the collaboration. He was named as one of Saatchi & Saatchi's 2019 class of New Creators during a showcase at Cannes Lions festival for his short film "STRANGERS". The film features a real-time art piece typewriting tweets about depression.

In 2018, Webb held his debut art exhibition 'STRANGERS' at Woodbury House gallery in Soho. The exhibition was attended by Professor Green, Jamal Edwards and Reggie Yates. Webb's work focuses on using endlessly looping video game programs that use real-time data and algorithms to express his views. He pulls data from various internet sources such as social media and NASA's api's. To create his video-game like computer simulations, Webb created a digital infinity mirror. In 2019 Webb created an installation for Valentino during Art Basel in Switzerland.[30] Webb was awarded the new media prize at the 2019 Ashurst emerging artist of the year competition for his piece "depressed twitter." The creation of the piece was described by The Face magazine as "looking at making us feel less alone."

In 2018, he delivered a TEDxBerlin talk on creative hacking and a TEDxBucharest talk on hacking the internet to create real-time art.
