André Sier has a mixed disciplinary background, which marries philosophy, painting, sculpture, biochemistry, music and performance arts. André is an audio-visual artist-programmer, whose work seeks to unravel connections between sound and image. Since 1997 he has been producing objects, which began life as speakers and light projectors but now run supported by the latest versions of trillions of code lines compiled by millions of programmers in machines scattered all over the world. His works have been exhibited at Meiac, Badajoz, at Biennale Vila Nova de Cerveir and at festivals such as M�sica Viva, Hertzosc�pio, Escrita na Paisagem, Arco Art Fair , Madrid and at the Sketch Gallery.

Alongside his individual projects, André has collaborated and created audio-visual works with various artists from music, plastics and performing arts. Highlights from his work include the series Struct, 747, c. ( ), Ankh; the �Parque� collaboration led by Ricardo Jacinto (2005-), UR with Nuno Mor�o (2003-); Noite directed by Am�lia Bentes (2003-); and the series ‘To a World Free From…� with the composer Pedro Rocha, Soror with choreographers, Ana Mira and Sofia Borges, and various collaborations in concerts such as Ernesto Rodrigues, Ant�nio Chaparreiro, Vitor Joaquim, Ivan Franco.
