Andrew Chee
Andrew Chee is an artist and designer with a background in environmental, exhibition, and interaction design. Formally trained in computer science and music, his work includes objects, systems, interfaces, and actions that explore the boundaries between instruction and improvisation, control and chaos, to art and commerce. An American born from Chinese immigrant parents in Vietnam and Malaysia, he creates structures that frequently question, embody, and repurpose elements of the systemic in identity, labor, and power. His work spans an array of interconnected materials and techniques developed from both art and commercial practices, combining installation, interactive, print, and traditional fine art media, using computational methods to generate artifacts that welcome recursive feedback, chance, and emergent outcomes. He has been a creative director for an augmented reality Olympic pavilion, a designer for the Whitney Museum of American Art, a software engineer for NASA, has designed interfaces for drones and for TVs, has been featured by Apple, and awarded by the Society for Experiential Graphic Design. His work has been shown internationally, including at the Guggenheim Museum and La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York City, Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona, and the Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum.
