About
Casey Alfstad (she/they) is a video sculptor and new media art designer working in Austin, Texas, and Brooklyn, New York. Finding a unique parallel between emergent technology and queer culture, Alfstad views both as social practices actively shaping our future through embracing the new and alternative.
She merges traditional fine arts like sculpture with electronic technologies such as video-based projection mapping to produce hybrid surfaces that incite playful curiosity in the strange and emphasize the elasticity of perception.
Her practice utilizes motion media and the mutation of the traditional object to evoke emblematic glitches that remind us that everything is within our creative license and our present state is a malleable medium of boundless potential. While select artwork is in collection, much of their work is created to be destroyed, virtual, or site specific installation.
Art
Alfstad has exhibited work with the Museum of Human Achievement and UMLAUF Sculpture Garden, curated exhibits with Martha’s ATX and Carver Museum, and developed new media exhibits with The Contemporary Austin and Women and Their Work. She has spoken on art and technology at conferences like the International Congress of Ceramics and Architecture in Madrid, Spain, and was YELP’s featured artist for Austin Pride in 2022. Casey is a Line Resident artist with Big Medium’s 2024 cohort. She is also the co-founder of Concept Animals, a femme-run arts publication.
She holds a BA in Philosophy and Visual Arts from Eckerd College with the Dean List scholarship and received a Certificate of Fine Arts from Lorenzo de Medici Institute in Florence, Italy, with Marist College. She grew up down the street from the Pollock-Krasner House and Studio in Springs, New York.
Design Work
Outside of her personal practice, Casey works in creative media development with artists, galleries, and museums to enhance presentation practices and empower conceptual visions using digital tools within concept art.
