Nancy Daly

Nancy’s current body of work examines how the development of the online social world is affecting identity and social behavior. By creating interactive machines reminiscent of outdated technology, she addresses the contradictions present in various social media that are at once ephemeral and entirely permanent. Interactivity and the vocabulary of minimalist sculpture are key elements of her installations that challenge the viewer to look beyond the user-friendliness of online technology and consider what their participation in social media means.

Nancy Daly is a recent graduate of the Photographic and Electronic Media MFA program at the Maryland Institute College of Art. While attending MICA, she assisted in teaching foundation and art history courses. Prior to attending MICA, Nancy earned her BFA in graphic design from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia in 2008. She has worked as a graphic deisigner for a range of clients from a resturant group to government consulting agencies and non-profits.
