André Castro
Hello, my name is André Castro. I am a media designer working within art & technology, and with a background in sound arts. In addition I work part-time as a tutor at the Experimental Publishing MA (Piet Zwart Institute) and Python software developer.
My practice focuses on designing custom automated audiovisual systems for artworks and exhibitions. Working in close dialogue with artists and institutions, I try to offer reliable solutions that meet the requirements of the work, regardless of how unconventional.
This wiki functions as an project's archive, a log of experiments and a collection of work-related tips and tricks. For a a less chaotic experience check my portfolio website at http://artserver.org/
