Biography

Artist filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang lives and works in Los Angeles. He studied Fine Art at the University of Southern California, graduating in 2007.

Huang's film and video work has exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, NYC; MoMA PS1; The Barbican Centre, London; Postmasters Gallery, NYC; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

As an experimental filmmaker with a background in puppetry, animation, live action performance and visual effects, Huang's work bridges the gap between video art and film, expanding beyond into installation and alternative modes of storytelling.

Having developed a strong reputation for his collaborative practice, Huang has worked extensively with Icelandic artist Bjork, among others including Thom Yorke, British director Joe Wright, and fashion designers Iris van Herpen, Gareth Pugh and threeASFOUR. Huang served as creative director for Bjork's VR exhibition "Bjork Digital," creating multiple immersive experiences within the pioneering traveling installation.

With his strength in world-building, Huang carries on his visual aesthetic as he continues his foray into narrative feature film.
