Sydney G. is an Artist Technologist, Educator, and Tinkerer with over a decade of experience in gallery preparatory, curatorial, educational, and archival projects. Her artistic practice emphasizes the time-flattening properties of objects and how we charge them; she harnesses the power of nostalgia to highlight the emotional attachments we embed into them.
Sydney believes that charged objects allow us to continually draw upon the past—and inspire us to imagine the future—in order to better shape our present; they are not only vessels but anchors and conduits that reveal the synchronicity of time. She demonstrates this power using combinations of robotics, creative coding, experimental video, photography, and the modification of vintage analog tech.
Sydney was born in Monterey, CA in 1995 and raised as an 'Army brat' in Stuttgart, Germany. She completed her BA in Studio Art with a double minor in Sociology and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies in 2017 at Gettysburg College and received her MFA in Art & Technology Studies in 2022 from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
