Andy Cavatorta is an artist and sculptor working with physical sound and robotics. His creative practice integrates emerging technologies with traditional crafts to discover new ways of locating meaning with sound. A graduate of the MIT Media Lab, he has over two decades of software engineering experience and most recently has collaborated with leading-edge recording artists such as Björk and Matthew Herbert.

Andy’s latest exhibits include MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), TED, and The Royal Opera House. He has been featured in documentaries by National Geographic and Vice, and is a recipient of the Lincoln prize.

“As a culture, we are exploring questions about meaning and emotion mediated by technology. But many of the questions date back to the origins of the pipe organ and automaton. At what point does that numinous ghost of feeling, beneath the level of words, enter the machine?”
