Today we’re joined in the studio by Sophie Penkethman-Young – artist and digital producer living and working on Gadigal Land Sydney.

Sophie’s work has exhibited at Artspace (2025), Seventh Gallery (2019), Verge Gallery (2021), Liveworks and Mais Wright while she’s produced digital work for the Sydney Opera House, Creative Australia, Carriageworks and Firstdraft as well as right here at FBi!

Sophie’s work deals with how ideas and experiences translate digitally and incorporates mediums like video, essay, sculpture, photography and performance. Sophie’s work has us obsessed with the questions of what separates the organic world from the digital, her digital projects and sculptures invokes feelings of surveillance, the fracturing of the individual into countless duplicates and a whole bunch of other ideas that we get into today!

This episode was hosted by Kate Saap, produced by Zaity Salman and edited by Madison Jackson.
