Video & Animation

Scott Andrew’s video and animation practice functions as a central site for exploring queer futurity, the mythology of divas, and the cosmic connections between pop culture and post-humanist identity. These works frequently employ a maximalist aesthetic, integrating VFX, found footage, and traditional animation with experimental media techniques, including generative AI.

The projects in this section explore the possibilities of visual fantasy and critical theory:

• Queer Speculation & Transformation: Works like Bird of Paradise, Hide, and Neráides craft cinematic narratives that transport the viewer to alternate realms where gender and identity are fluid, excessive, and mythic. These videos often serve as source material or expansions of his live performance collaborations.
• AI, Digital Embodiment, and Consciousness: Recent works, such as AI Dreams of Electric Bodies, merge AI generative animation with digital synthesis to visualize complex concepts around bodily pleasure, technology, and post-human existence. Earlier works, like Arise, explore similar themes through video feedback and analog distortions.
• Collaborative Icons & Satire: Andrew’s video editing and production skills are showcased in collaborations like the video iteration of Show Queen and the work contributed to Narcissister's exhibition Narcissister is You. This section also includes his role as a co-producer of the Dadaist variety show, Trans-Q Television / TQ Live!.
• The Vortex & The Void: Projects like Phantoms and Sploshing The Void III immerse viewers in psychedelic, hyper-detailed visual journeys that metaphorically explore entrapment and the metaphysical space-time of the queer universe.

Collectively, these videos function as vibrant portals, inviting audiences to confront reality through the lens of excess, fantasy, and digital spectacle.
