Artist, Graphic Designer and Researcher
(ES, CL~1997)
Barcelona based.  

Andrea Galano Toro is a Chilean artist and graphic designer based in Barcelona. Her transdisciplinary practice explores storytelling as a gesture to activate and enchant transformational experiences through installations, audiovisual performances, workshops, and publications. Her work engages ecological narratives focused on processes of decay and multispecies relationships, approached through a critical lens that questions extractivist logics.

Her practice unfolds through scale, language, and experimental storytelling — approaching the micro to +think the macro — and reappropriating tools designed 
to measure or classify the world, such as microscopes, macro lenses, and bestiaries, as instruments of speculation, intuition, and connection with the more-than-human. Andrea works with electronics in connection to natural materials through installations that transform and decompose over time, exploring technology itself in relation to decay and its own mortality. Language is 
also central: from collective glossaries to speculative symbols and cartographies as ways of imagining other worlds and relations.

Planta Kinetica (2024)


For this digital plant to move, it needs to be watered, turning the piece interactive for the audience. The plant follows a cycle of movement that persists until it is no longer wet. The lights represent each turn the plant makes and can be manipulated through OSC, sent by other organisms, playing with the idea of nature and technology as a symbiotic ecosystem.
