Sam Heydt is an American social practice and recycled media artist born/raised in New York City and currently residing in Vienna. A published author, producer and lifelong activist, Heydt has undertaken a range of altruistic, non-profit work. Her art, anchored in social advocacy, attempts to give a voice to the veiled, forgotten, exiled, and silenced. In her practice, she works across a spectrum of different media — film, video, installation, photography, sculpture, sound, merchandize, text — and employs a range of materials often reinventing or trespassing their associative use. Heydt's vision looks beyond the ordinary. Esteemed as one of the pioneers of the recycled media movement, Heydt’s work has been shown in galleries, museums, art fairs and film festivals worldwide.

The Exhibition Overview_ A Peek into Future Prospects
"The edge is closer than we think, but illusion won't free us from reality." Sam Heydt
Online Fine Arts Museum presents the year-end exhibition A Peek into Future Prospects by American artist Sam Heydt. Heydt's layered imagery conflates time and space, colliding and merging generations of possibilities and disrupting logical relationships between occurrences. An apocaliptic view of the future centered on the American dream becomes the starting point to begin a serious reflexion on our current society and our future. Through the use of recicling and hand-made collage, Heydt confronts the disillusionment of our time in an attempt to make us remember that the world is ours to fix.
As a very special year approaches its end, we at Online Fine Arts Museum would like to thank you all for your support inviting you to reflect on our world as you consider your new year's resolutions with this fantastic new exhiition.
