Tin Nguyen is one-half of Tin&Ed. Tin Nguyen and Edward Cutting are Australian artists and creative technologists based in New York.

They create playful installations and experiences that illuminate the borderless dimension between art and science, the physical and the digital, the human and the more than human. Their work is driven by a deep curiosity for the natural world and the intricate ways we are connected to it. They use art to envision the world through this lens of interconnectedness.

Tin&Ed are alumni of NEW INC, the art and technology incubator run by the New Museum. They were part of the interactive experiences cohort in Year 6 and the creative science cohort in year 7.

Their work has been shown at the Rockefeller Center, Pioneer Works, Getty Museum, Barbican Centre, ArtScience Museum, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney Opera House and National Gallery of Victoria.

They have worked with brands including Apple, Hermes, Nike and Disney. They have also spoken at Design Indaba in Cape Town, the AGI Congress in Mexico City, BODW in Hong Kong, Semi Permanent in Australia and New Zealand and The Shanghai Institute for Visual Art.
