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 revolves around emphasizing the time-flattening properties of objects and how we charge them; she is harnessing the powers of nostalgia to highlight deep-set 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 formulate our present; they are not only vessels but anchors and conduits. She demonstrates this synchronous ability 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 spent her formative years 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.
