Brandon Bandy (b. 1994, St. Louis, MO) is an artist and publisher in Long Beach, California.
Drawing upon the histories of Post-Internet, Institutional Critique, and Conceptualism, Brandon’s practice confronts ideas of the virtual, visual conventions, and artistic production amidst domination of online platforms and impoverished institutions. Often centering site, perspective of the lens, and memetics, Brandon’s works are unfixed, often synthesized from contemporary folklore or metadata and shifting form as they undergo stages of mediation.
