Sam Burke is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist working across performance, sound, sculpture and emerging technologies.

She also holds a Masters of Contemporary Art from the Victorian College of the Arts and a Bachelor of Music from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, which she completed in Vienna.
