Andrew Carnie

Andrew Carnie is an artist and academic. His artistic practice often involves a meaningful interaction with scientists regarding themes and ideas. A starting point is often recent scientific studies on the brain and neurology. His overarching concern is how we get a sense of our-selves, through science theory, ideas, and images.
He works in a variety of media and scales, from watercolor and oil painting to large installations. The work is most often time-based in nature, involving slide projection using dissolve systems or video projection onto complex screen configurations. In a darkened space layered images appear and disappear on suspended screens, the developing display absorbing the viewer into an expanded sense of space and time through the slowly unfolding narratives that evolve before and around them. This work has been exhibited widely from the Daejeon Museum in South Korea to Exit Art in New York.
