Tristan Sauer —
New Media Artist and Curator
Tristan Sauer is a New Media Artist and Curator critically interested in technology and capitalism, viewing their relationship as a potential modern-day Pandora's box. His work explores the intersections between our digital and physical worlds, and how an inside-out look at internet culture and the mythologies of the digital can reveal more about the human condition. Fueled by climate anxiety and working with mediums such as wearable technology, electronic sculpture, and net-art, Sauer explores these topics through a variety of futurist lenses imagining and critiquing the outcomes of our relationships with technology.
A graduate of the New Media program at Toronto Metropolitan University, Sauer has presented locally at the Plumb, Meridian Art Centre, Gallery 1313, Whippersnapper Gallery, and with The Artist Project. He has curated for Long Winter, Symbicocene Gallery, REEL Asian Film Festival, Xpace Cultural Centre, and Ed Video Media Arts Centre.
