Information
Andrew Frangella is a media artist working primarily with moving image, sound, and expanded cinema. His work explores nuances of decay and the poetics of what lingers, what is inaccessible to the senses, and that which cannot be expressed alone in language.
His practice is rooted in a fascination with technological artifacts: circuit-bent video/audio gear, tape machines, and outdated or found media; which he repurposes by using technology as an extension of himself to uncover both the personal and philosophical.
Often integrating analog and digital tools and technologies, his films and expanded cinema works reflect on worldly disconnection and the tension between the self and the society.
These works start at a location, a source; from which, through invocation of a gnostic state, selections are made. This is only through time spent with, or reflecting on, a space.
His sound work is compositional in nature. By sampling the earth, the body, or the anthrophony, he builds upon ideas from layered combinations of these spaces, aiming to establish and examine our relationships with them.
His work has screened internationally at festivals and galleries such as Motivate Underground, Photometria In Motion, SEFF Binghamton, Yellowhammer Film Fest and PRAXIS.
