Steve Parker is an Austin-based sound artist and sculptor whose installations, public artworks, and performances make hidden systems audible. Working with salvaged instruments, obsolete technologies, and ecological materials, he builds sculptural environments that translate forces such as land subsidence, surveillance, and ecological loss into collective acts of listening. His work treats sculpture as a sensing apparatus and public ritual as a form of research. Parker is the 2025 Texas State Artist for Sculpture and a recipient of the Creative Capital Award, Rome Prize, and Fulbright fellowships.
