Andreas Diktiopoulos

Video Artist, Composer
He studied music and computer science and attended the postgraduate program in Logic, Algorithms and Computation. His artistic expression focuses on digital interactive storytelling, with the use of creative tools such as informatics, music, digital picture and creative writing. He is a professional game designer-developer, working with the team Beyondthosehills, whose first videogame, The Minims, has received an enthusiastic welcome from the public. As a composer, he has worked with institutions and artists in Europe and the US. His works have been presented in Greece, US, France, Spain and England by notable performers (bass Nicholas Isherwood, pianist Maria Aloupi, Ensemble Aleph, Neue Ensemble). In 2009, he co-founded with Maria Aloupi the contemporary cultural space ABOUT in Athens (Psiri), aiming to create a communication platform that will bring together artists from different fields and at the same time strengthen their relation with the public. The space hosts concerts, recitals, exhibitions, educational seminars among other events. He worked in the presentation of Giorgos Koumendakis’ work The Silent Step of the Bear (OCC, 2012) and produced the video projections for the world premiere of Koumentakis’ opera The Murderess (Athens Concert Hall, 2014/15).
