Andreas Gysin and Sidi Vanetti are an artist duo whose collaborative practice explores code-based art, images, patterns, and animations. Based in Southern Switzerland, they have been collaborating since the early 2000s across a wide spectrum of media, from physical installations to digital animations and real-time generative works.
They often employ custom-built software, plotters, LED panels, and other digital display technologies and matrices to create pieces based on structure, rhythm, and process. They embrace the constraints imposed by existing formats, treating them not as limitations but as frameworks for visual invention.
The duo has exhibited internationally in festivals, galleries, and museums, and they are recognized for contributing to the evolution of generative and digital art through a refined, system-driven approach. Despite working with complex algorithms and technologies, their output is often deceptively simple, aiming to reveal the beauty and expressiveness within tightly defined parameters.
