Andreas Hammar
""Computers and video games have always had a great influence on my life. I have now been consuming, programming and collecting them for 2/3 of my life.And for just as long time I have been doing stuff. You know, small stuff, nothing special, just stuff. Art stuff, I suppose. I have used materials like; paper and glue, hobby-clay and plastic models, wood, canvas, metal, electronics and off curse computers. Around the same time as I picked up art professionally, I started to collect old video games and vintage home computers. Now, around six years later a have more than 100 cubic feet of old electronic junk. The past few years my interest has shifted from the actual games, toward what they have done to me, what kind of childhood memories and dreams they left behind. I like to display my thoughts and ideas physical, in real life, not on a monitor, so my latest projects have been classical paintings, machines and a real life fantasy workshop, all in the landscape of video games.
