Andrew Chee is a designer and researcher currently pursuing a Master of Architecture at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.
He is co-editor and designer of a quarterly print magazine INDEX, publisher at Rote Press, an artist-run independent imprint for open-source print and other media, a member and Hybrid Practice alum of NEW INC, and a fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts.
Formerly, he worked as a visual design lead for new device interfaces at Google, as a designer for exhibitions, print, and digital media at the Whitney Museum of American Art, has been a creative director for an augmented reality Olympic pavilion, and a software engineer for NASA. He has designed interfaces for drones, cars, to TVs, featured by Metropolis Magazine and Apple, awarded by the Society for Experiential Graphic Design, and most recently an iF Design Gold.
Formally trained in computer science and music, his work includes spaces, objects, interfaces, and actions that explore the boundaries between instruction and improvisation, control and chaos, to art and commerce.
His work spans an array of interconnected materials and techniques developed from art and commercial practices, combining installation, interactive, print, and traditional fine art media, using computational methods to generate artifacts that welcome recursive feedback, chance, and emergent outcomes.
An American born to Chinese immigrants from Vietnam and Malaysia, he creates systems and structures that frequently question, embody, and repurpose elements of the systemic in identity, labor, and power.
His work has been shown internationally, including at the Guggenheim Museum, Type Directors Club and La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York City, CultureHub in Los Angeles, Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona, and the Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum.
