ABOUT

 
 

Producing material that pushes the boundaries of technology, Sophia Gordon’s work spans a variety of mediums including video, performance, installation, music, animation, motion graphics, illustration, graphic design, and writing. Both glitch art and circuit bending as well as the compatibility of old and new technologies are prominent features within her practice. Her most recent projects have explored the importance of mental health, concepts of cybernetics, chaos magick, horror, and science fiction.

Sophia graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Film and Television Production. There, she developed a passion for experimental story structure and the meticulous nature of the editing process. Over the course of the last 8 years, she has developed a style inspired by public access television and lo-fi digital tape formats.

Currently residing in the Greater Nashville Area, Sophia continues to bring her aesthetics to new mediums. She is the founder and operator of the experimental broadcasting company TeleUphoria Media Network, where she curates two themed channels (Miller’s Grove Public Access and Channel 43). She is also a member of the transgressive art collective Trance//Furnace.
