Jody Zellen is an artist living in Los Angeles, California. She works in many media simultaneously making photographs, installations, net art, public art, as well as artists' books that explore the subject of the urban environment.

"Disembodied Voices," 2004 (www.disembodiedvoices.com) began as an online project that was then coverted into a 5 projector interactive installation.
