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.

Assemblage(s) (2025)


Assemblague(s) is an ongoing research project which speculates on vehicles of language-in-kinship with more-than-human companions — from microbes and gut ecologies to soil, dust, and the microbial life inhabiting our technologies. The project uses the digestive process as both metaphor and method, unfolding in phases of ingestion, digestion, assimilation, and debris. Through fieldwork, samples were collected from the body and environment, observed under the microscope, and transformed into video, sound, and graphic symbols. These were carried by fragile bioplastics, cyanotype prints, and laser-cut forms, creating an unstable archive that decomposes as it speaks. Sensor-based experiments linked humidity and air quality to audiovisual material, opening speculative channels of communication between matter, bodies, and machines.
