CHARLES SANDISON

From the far north of Scotland, Sandison studied at the Glasgow School of Art. After graduating in 1991 he exhibited and was associated with the Young British Artist movement in London. However, in 1995 Sandison moved to Finland recognising it as a more suitable place to develop his art, at the intersection of nature and technology. Sandison is a pioneering artist in his extensive work with computer generative art and artificial life. His data projections combine language, form, architecture, and movement. His installations have been represented in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and the USA. Notably in the Venice Biennale (2001) Sandison exhibited his acclaimed work; ‘Living Rooms’ which brought him to international attention. His work is present in major national collections around the world, including Reina Sofia, Madrid, Denver Art Museum, MAXXI Rome, Kiasma, Helsinki, and Bonn Art Museum. From 2003 he was a visiting professor at Le Fresnoy, Lille and has lectured at the Sorbonne Paris. In 2010 Sandison was awarded Finland’s Ars Fennica art prize and in 2012 the Finnish Cultural Foundations Art and Science award.

Charles Sandison (born UK 1969) lives and works in Tampere, Finland.
