Typologies, the language of naming and the politics of categorization are often a focus of his projects. The pieces take the form of interactive installations, generative artworks, audiovisual performances and single channel videos. He is interested in using technology like surveillance, data science and virtual reality to oppose market interests and heighten critical thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew\u2019s work has been exhibited at The Museum of the Moving Image, Eyebeam, Rush Arts, the White Box gallery, the Fridman Gallery, Cyberfest, Fieldgate Gallery, the Center for Book Arts and many other galleries, festivals and museums. The MacDowell Colony, Puffin Foundation, Artslink, Harvestworks, Diapason, The Experimental Television Center, The Bemis Center, LMCC Swing Space, The Visual Studies Workshop and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts are among some of the organizations that have supported his work. Andrew teaches theory and production courses in emerging media in the Film and Media Department and IMA MFA program at Hunter College.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the projects discussed and images here &#8211; A link to the trailer for\u00a0<em>Echoes from the Black Box<\/em>, along with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrewdemirjian.com\/\">documentation of a lot of work is here<\/a>.\u00a0A link to the generative poem,\u00a0<em>Color Yourself Inspired\u2122\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrewdemirjian.com\/color\/\">is here<\/a>.
