Sean Lopez (b. 1986) is a director of intermedia performances, videos, and installations who currently teaches in the College of Visual & Performing Arts at George Mason University. His artwork explores the thin line between the subconscious and waking life through intermedial theatre and expanded cinema events. Lopez's practice encompasses writing plays, drawing on movie screens, composing soundscapes, designing studio stages, performing characters, utilizing computer software, recording and mapping video footage, and creating installations.

Using poetry, storytelling, and staged interactions with performers, his work investigates the relationships between the myth of self and the profanations of human interaction with pre-history, psyche, essence, and culture. Sean's work reveals how humans create and destroy their own dreams. Through performance and projection, he exposes our deep desire for imaginative freedom alongside our paradoxical impulse to suppress it – our fear of unleashing it. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, he combines poetry, folklore, theater, visual art, and digital media.

Lopez is a PhD Candidate in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Maine and earned his M.F.A. in Studio Art: New Media Arts from the University of North Texas in 2021. A notable recent performance includes both opening and closing performances at the Currents Art & Technology Festival in Santa Fe, NM, where he incorporated body performance, choreographed video projection mapping, hand-drawn illustrations, large scale canvases, and 21st century poetic parables.
