Sarah Brophy

Sarah Brophy (she/her) is a new media artist exploring tensions in the built environment where western science, the natural world, and technology collide. In her constructed animated worlds she pulls at the strings of her own flawed relationship with the natural environment through the wider lens of human co-dependence with computers. Often searching for what gets lost or gained in the transfer from physical object to intangible pixel, Sarah’s work wrestles with the contradictory feelings of awe and disenchantment with contemporary technology and asks questions about power, agency, and futurity within interwoven organic and synthetic systems.

Sarah’s projects have been exhibited in public art venues including The Berlin Festival of Lights, 150 Media Stream, and ILLUMINUS. She received her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her BA in Studio Arts from Bard College. Sarah is also a designer for the architecture firm Perkins&Will.
