Sara Goodman

Sara is interested in the way hardware, software, and interfaces influence social behavior as well as aesthetics. They are specifically interested in the ways glitch art gives insight into contemporary American culture and politics. Their grappling with their own complex relationship to technology can be found in their poetry and performance known as “Deep Dream.” Sara is the co-founder of the New Media collective S H R I N E and one half of AV Duos Interference// , ethereal_interface, and Cruising Utopia. They work and collaborate with other curators and parties in Chicago such as Eutopia and TRQPiTECA, bringing live visuals and TV installations to further enhance the ambiance of those spaces. Sara’s work also aims to create a psychedelic experience for the viewer. A space where color, texture, and landscape can help the mind to relax and expand with easier access to extra dimensions. Sara currently teaches high school students video art exploration, creative writing, and lit classes at Fusion Academy in Lincoln Park and is the author of the chapbook, "Universal Texture" published by Dynatox Ministries and the author of the full length poetry book "Starfish" published by The Lettered Streets Press.
