Chicago-based artist Sara Schnadt explores technology in her work both as subject and media. Her installations and performances use found objects, interactivity, projection, and movement derived from common gestures. Much of her work involves representations or data that translate large quantities of socially resonant information into poetic forms, including data visualization. Schnadt often performs within accompanying sculptural environments, attempting to articulate the personal within virtual and technological innovation.

Sara Schnadt has shown her work in Chicago at MCA Chicago’s ‘12x12: New Artists New Work’ and 'Without You I Am Nothing: Interactions', Hyde Park Art Center, ‘Pop-Up Art Loop’ temporary gallery series, ‘Looptopia’, ‘Site Unseen’ Performance Festival, What It Is project space, Balloon Contemporary, and Antena Gallery. National and international shows include ‘Spatial City, An Architecture of Idealism’ at MOCAD Detroit, ‘Exchange Rate’ public projection series in LA and NY, ‘Upgrade! - Chain Reaction’ in Skopje, Macedonia, CINEA Paris, FreeManifesta Frankfurt, and the Busan Biennale in South Korea.

Sara co-curates the IN>TIME Performance Series and is co-founder and technologist for Chicago Artists Resource website at the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. She also serves on the Artists Advisory Committee for the Chicago Artists Coalition.
