ABOUT

The art and expertise of Sean Hovendick is directly influenced by his many unique experiences in life. He was a paratrooper in the US Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, received a bachelor’s degree from Eastern New Mexico University with a concentration in broadcast communication, art, and computer animation, then later earned an MFA from the Department of Transmedia at Syracuse University. In addition to managing the graphic and web design studio he founded in 1998, Sean is a professor of Graphic + Media Design, and Chair of the Department of Visual & Performing Arts at Russell Sage College in Upstate New York.

Hovendick’s interactive, photographic, and time-based artworks explore the hidden forces of power, identity, and social order within the mediated psyche. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally at George Mason University, the Everson Museum of Art, Rutgers University, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, FACT: Foundation for Art and Creative Technology in Liverpool, UK; and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santiago, Chile.
