Steamboat

Steamboat is an interdisciplinary artist whose work weaves together elements of visual art, music, and performance, drawing inspiration from the liminal spaces between nostalgia and futurism. Born and raised in the American Midwest, Steamboat developed an early fascination with industrial landscapes and the folklore of forgotten towns, themes that echo throughout their immersive installations and multimedia projects. After formal training in both fine arts and sound design, Steamboat emerged on the scene in the late 2010s, quickly gaining recognition for their distinctive aesthetic blending analog textures with digital sensibilities.

Their practice is marked by a poetic reconsideration of urban decay and resilience, often repurposing salvaged materials and obsolete technologies as central components in their work. Exhibited in galleries, independent spaces, and festival settings across North America and Europe, Steamboat has also collaborated with musicians, dancers, and community organizations to create participatory experiences that blur the line between artist and audience. With each project, Steamboat invites viewers to journey down winding, memory-soaked pathways, uncovering stories of transformation and echoing the enduring spirit of adaptation.
