Sean Lopez (b. 1986) is a director of intermedia performances, videos, and
installations. His artwork is influenced by dreams and the thin line
that separates our subconscious from our waking life. Lopez draws on
movie screens, designs studio stages, performs characters, utilizes
computer software, and records endless video footage. Using poetry,
storytelling and staged interactions with performers, his work explores
the relationships between myth of self and the profanations of human
interaction with pre-history, psyche, essence, and culture. Sean is
currently pursuing their PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies at the
University of Maine, and in 2021, he earned his M.F.A. in Studio Art:
New Media Arts from the University of North Texas. For his most recent performance, he had
the privilege to do the opening and
closing performances at the
Currents Art & Technology Festival in Santa Fe, NM. For this event, he incorporated body performance, choreographed video projection mapping,
hand-drawn illustrations, large scale canvases, and 21st century
poetic parables.
