John Sherman Lathram III is a mixed-media artist whose work incorporates many aspects of technology: digital photography, video, robotics, biological systems and computer software. His work incorporates and exaggerates the poetic juxtaposition of the social expectations between perceived reality and “real” reality, one that exists and one we are taught or have faith in its notion. His photographic studies explore perceived body image of fringe subcultures as defined by historical essays and articles as well as current socio-political events. His photo-essay book, The “Ladies” of Ohio – Digital Divas, documents the female illusion culture in Columbus, Ohio. His works have appeared in New York, with well-received reviews in the New York Times, as well as several Columbus venues. Lathram graduated from The Ohio State University in 2004 with an MFA in Art and Technology. He has been an adjunct professor at The Ohio State University and Columbus State Community College. He has served as youth lecturer for the Wexner Center Summer Youth Art Series and is a member of several local and national Arts organizations.
