In Sylvia Eckermann's work, a discursive engagement with form and media culminates in critical artistic reflections about our entanglement as individuals in current socio-economic situations. Eckermann works with various media including digital and physical environments, installations, videos, objects, and sculptures. Eckermann is the first recipient of the City of Vienna Award for Media Art (2014) and was awarded the Austrian State Prize for Media Art (2018). She lives and works in Vienna AT.

In den Arbeiten von Sylvia Eckermann münden langjährige Form- und Mediendiskurse in kritische Reflexionen über die Gegenwart. Ihre Installationen können als räumliche und mediale Inszenierungen von Informationen in binären und physischen Umgebungen beschrieben werden, die sowohl individuelle als auch politische und ökonomische Interessen strukturieren. Ihre Kunst sucht die Herausforderung zwischen Diskurs und ästhetischer Praxis, zwischen analog und digital, zwischen solitärer künstlerischer Arbeit und kreativen Gruppenprozessen. Eckermann gilt als ▸ Pionierin der Game Art, in der seit Ende der 1990er Jahre Computerspiele zu künstlerischen Formaten ummodifiziert werden.
Seit 2012 schafft sie auch skulpturale Arbeiten, die den virtuellen und physischen Raum miteinander verweben.
1987-1989 Mitglied der Künstlergruppe Gangart, 1989-2004 fuchs-eckermann, seit 2011 Mitglied der Technopolitics Research Group.
Gemeinsam mit Gerald Nestler hat Eckermann die Kunstserie ▸ The Future of Demonstration entwickelt, die sich 2017 und 2018 mit neuen Formaten und Praxen der Kunst auseinandersetzt.
2014 erhielt sie den Medienkunst-Preis der Stadt Wien für ihr künstlerisches Gesamtwerk. 2018 wurde sie für ihr Gesamtwerk mit dem österreichischen Kunstpreis für Medienkunst ausgezeichnet.

The Future of Demonstration.
An art series of 2 seasons and 8 episodes focusing on new formats, intensities and consequences of artistic work. Based on the leitmotifs PASSION 2018 and VERMÖGEN 2017, artists, theorists, scientists and other experts jointly develop postdisciplinary practices that engage with today’s massive transformations in the ecological, political, economic, and cultural spheres. Demonstration is explored as a means to reimagine, collect, share and realise narratives, techniques and affiliations of resistance.
