About
CONFETTISYSTEM is Julie Ho and Nicholas Valite Andersen, a duo working as artists, stylists, and designers. A shared love of communal celebration and craft-making brought them together to create a new system in 2008. Their handmade objects and installations are shaped by early years in New York City and Oahu, drawing from sensorial experiences that often occur in temples, clubs, forests, beaches and other places of healing.
CONFETTISYSTEM transforms simple materials like tissue paper, cardboard, silk, and mylar into interactive objects that create a point of focus, where a spontaneous collaboration with the viewer is sparked. Their work lives between the ephemeral and the permanent with a sense of nostalgia and lightness.
CONFETTISYSTEM has created installations and provided art direction for brands including Opening Ceremony, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, Lane Crawford, and Target, as well as performers Beyonce, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Beach House. CONFETTISYSTEM has also created custom work for The New York Times, MoMA PS1, Standard Hotels, the American Ballet Theatre, Mercedes Benz, and events including the Sugar Mountain Festival, FYF Fest, BUBBLE_T and Papi Juice
The duo have been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Japan, and Australia. CONFETTISYSTEM has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, V Magazine, Interview Magazine, Teen Vogue, Office Magazine, Sight Unseen, and Dwell among other publications.
