Be Andr

Be Andr (b. 1978, Norway) merges traditional art techniques with custom algorithmic systems to rethink art-making, digital materiality, and the artist’s embodied agency in post-digital contexts. Treating code as language and language as material, he works across painting, typographic sculpture, 3D-printed forms, and moving-image to examine how meaning and sense emerge, shift, and remain unstable. Through the System of Emergent Touch (SET)—a framework he developed—human touch, computation, and AI act as co-agents, restoring tactility and reframing agency as shared, positioning AI as a collaborator rather than a threat. He holds a PhD and an MA from the Royal College of Art; exhibitions include a UNESCO-commissioned project at Fabriano Contemporanea (IT), HALLE13 (AT), CCA Andratx (ES), and the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art (IL). Public works are permanently installed in Oslo (Norway) and in Hackney and Victoria (London).
