About | andrewmcsweeney

I hold a BA in Fine Art (MTU Crawford, Cork, Ireland, 2015) and an MA in Instructional and Learning Design (LSAD, Limerick, Ireland, 2021). Recent projects include exhibiting at 9.57 (SUNSET) – Cork Midsummer Festival at Triskel Arts Centre (June 2024) and presenting Green World, an interactive AR application, at Earth Rising: Eco Festival, IMMA (September 2024). I recently had two solo exhibitions in Ireland, The Weight of Nothing at Studio 12, Cork (January 2025) and Transmuted Structures at the Courthouse Gallery, Clare (February 2025). I have received funding from the Irish Arts Council on multiple occasions and I was recently awarded the Visual Artist Fellowship at Benchspace, Cork, Ireland, leading to a six-month residency starting June 2025.

My practice is multidisciplinary, blending digital media, drawing, and sculpture with a focus on 3D software to create digital reproductions inspired by nature. Techniques like photogrammetry and material experimentation explore the intersection of physical and virtual realms. I work with game engines and interactive tools to create immersive, dynamic experiences that invite viewers to engage with digital environments in real time. My work combines digital scans, organic and synthetic materials, audio, and interactive elements to create immersive experiences. Bridging technology and traditional art, I produce physical prints and drawings generated through digital processes, aiming to manipulate, reimagine, preserve, and reinterpret objects and environments.
