Andrew Wharton is a San Diego-based artist exploring the membrane between the organic and synthetic. Working across machine learning, physical computing, alchemy, digital fabrication and simulation, he produces sculptures, environments, systems, and videos where acephalic and intelligence-directed systems meet, intertwine, and meld in an effort to rupture the binary between natural-unnatural and creation-creator. His work speculates on nonhuman intelligence and post-human futures in the wake of environmental breakdown.

Andrew received his Bachelor’s degree in Spatial Studies from the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is currently pursuing his MFA at the University of California, San Diego.
