OTHERNODE
Hannes Arvid Andersson (Othernode) is a multimedia designer, creative technologist, artist, researcher, and AI specialist working at the intersection of sound, technology, design, and society.
His practice explores technological mediation, perception, communication, and audiovisual experience through immersive media, sound, performance, systems design, and artistic research.
For the past two decades, his work has moved fluidly across visual storytelling, music, interaction design, computational media, and critical analysis of emerging technologies.
Rather than treating disciplines as isolated fields, he approaches them as interconnected forms of perception and expression — where image, sound, interface, behavior, and systems continuously shape one another.
Hannes frequently collaborates with artists, researchers, institutions, educators, and cultural organisations on projects spanning audiovisual performance, immersive experiences, design research, education, and technological experimentation.
