Andrew Benson is an emerging New Media artist, performer, and painter based in San Francisco, CA. His video work has recently been featured in group shows at Johansson Projects, LACMA West, Artists' Television Access, and he has performed as a live video artist/director at Coachella, Outside Lands, and Street Scene music festivals. He is a member of the Design & Technology faculty at San Francisco Art Institute, where he teaches classes in experimental media production. Following in the tradition of twentieth century video artists like Woody and Steina Vasulka, Stephen Beck, and Nam June Paik, Andrew Benson creates interactive and recorded media works derived from a prolonged process of technological experimentation and programming combined with a painterly sensitivity to color and composition.
