As a Millennial who remembers the world before digital devices and the internet were everywhere, Sarah Zucker \u2014 aka The Sarah Show \u2014 is fascinated by the accelerated transition society at large is going through.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel as a Millennial that I\u2019m part of this generational cohort that\u2019s in this very unusual experience of having had an analog childhood and now living a digital future,\u201d says Zucker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m specifically using tools of the recent past like analog TVs to take people out of our present moment and create this different experience of time and sense. I would say my work really is about time more than anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles artist is considered an OG of the NFT art scene, having started way back in 2019 (her first mint was on April 4 that year) compared to most artists who arrived on the scene in the last 12\u201324 months.<\/p>\n

Her art seems to resemble something you\u2019ve seen before, all while feeling like something completely new, telling stories with a dose of humor while tapping into cutting-edge and obsolete technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having been featured at Sotheby\u2019s and more recently at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Zucker\u2019s love for art started with film photography.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always expressed myself visually. As a teenager, I got very into photography and specifically working with film photography. We\u2019re talking about the early 2000s when everything was going digital,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cVintage technology has always been of interest to me. It\u2019s not necessarily about nostalgia, it\u2019s more that I find the physicality of vintage technology really interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She was an early convert to uploading pics on Tumblr and Instagram and spent about a decade pursuing photography before her master\u2019s in screenwriting saw her embrace narrative filmmaking on video.<\/p>\n

The Sarah Show takes inspiration from German expressionist art, which emerged in a similarly tumultuous period to today around the end of the First World War.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere had just been this World War that made everyone feel like the world was suddenly getting a little more global than felt comfortable. There was a pandemic. There were all these things in society, and yet the artists of that time were so expansive, emotive and free,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were breaking forms and creating things in a way that said, \u2018We don\u2019t care how we\u2019re supposed to do this; we\u2019re going to do this the way that this expression needs to come out of us\u2019. I can\u2019t get enough,\u201d says Zucker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been something of an outlier in my artwork. I would say it\u2019s not easily defined. You could call it glitch art, you could call it video art, you could call it GIF art, or, more recently, NFT art as it gets called now. I don\u2019t think those terms are incorrect, but they miss the big picture.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI describe it more like a multiverse that I\u2019m channeling through. I\u2019m channeling through myself and through these vintage broadcast devices into a body of work that gets referred to as The Sarah Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

With technological advancements like AI happening at a breakneck pace, Zucker says she\u2019s trying to address the \u201cbig universal existential questions\u201d about the fact we\u2019re on the \u201cbrink of a completely new way of living as human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI view my work as a way of depicting what it\u2019s like to be this sort of silly, scared, happy, manic, dreadful little creature strapped to this rocket ship going into the future and trying to make sense of what this life has been and what it\u2019s going to continue to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
