Biography
Robyn Sanford is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles whose work explores the shifting margins of social exchanges, particularly in the context of emerging technologies that emulate interpersonal relationships. Sanford’s observations of real and virtual interactions form the basis of her explorations of physical touch and non-verbal communication and how we manipulate digital realities to transmit the intimacy and un-spoken rituals normally present in tangible interactions.
She employs materials and references to technology, painting, photography, fiber arts, wood, metal work, and electronics to create installations and sculptural projects. Experiencing her work is an invitation to use one’s own encounters with computer-mediated exchanges to inform the narratives within.
