Sarah Bennet-Davidson @saba_davi is a media-based Sarah Bennet-Davidson @saba_davi is a media-based artist in New Mexico. She is currently a student here at the University of New Mexico MFA program in Electronic Art & Technology and has been taking vvvv classes with The NODE Institute since 2022. Sarah was a recipient of a Summer Season ’24 scholarship with the NODE Institute for the vvvv Intermediates classes. vvvvv is a visual-first live programming environment for the .NET ecosystems. Its language VL combines metaphors known from dataflow, functional and object-oriented programming. Sarah is at UNM teaching Electronic Art to students and working at ARTSLAB, which focuses on art/tech research. She started out young, being interested in experimental dance and choreography. The concepts behind algorithmic body movements captivated her, and after she saw a pieced by Merce Cunningham called Biped (1999), in Lincoln Center in New York City really sparked her interest in generative large scale projects. She is excited to be at UNM and has recently been selected to participate this spring as an artists in a competitive collaborative lithography course at Tamarind Institute. There she will be collaborating with Tamarind printmakers-in-training to create 3 print editions and using vvvv to create imagery for it. We are excited to see what she will do next! 📷: Touch Dress.
