Alison Sant is a media artist, with a background in digital media and architecture. Her work explores the city as both a site for investigation and intervention and has often focused on the hidden dynamics of the urban landscape. Her most recent work, uses media technologies to both capture the temporal events of the city as well as to examine the ways in which these technologies reform our notions of the urban landscape.

She has been awarded artist residencies at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program in 2001, Headlands Center for the Arts in 2000, and the Tryon Center for Visual Art in 1999.
