About

Andrew Newman is a media artist and writer based in Sydney. In 2008 he completed his Master of Visual Arts at the Sydney College of the Arts researching the impact of new communication technologies on the art of writing love letters. Newman’s art practice unravels what he considers the conflict between the two desires for the other, drawn from two Greek gods, the sons of Aphrodite. Pothos, a desire for the absent being, and Himeros, the more burning desire for the present being. Through his work Newman reveals the absurd alienation of the individual, forever disconnected by these desires.
