Marian Sandberg is driven by a need to feel human. Through multidisciplinary arts practice, she explores what being human feels like in a world where technological systems continually shift and normalise new ways of being. By creating quirky new technologies that sit at the edge of the societal norms they shape and uphold, Sandberg offers opportunities to consciously engage with and reshape the technologies that shape us.

Marian holds a Bachelor of Visual Art from the Adelaide Central School of Art and a Master of Information Systems from the University of South Australia. She was Stelarc’s first mentee, an ACE Studio resident, PICA Hatched and ANAT Critical Light alumni, recipient of the SALA festival UnitCare Services Digital Media Award and was the 2024 Adelaide Critics Circle emerging artist of the year. She is never quite sure where her keys are, and wonders if Siri gets tired of finding them.
