Read full biographyTin Nguyen is one-half of artist duo Tin & Ed.
Tin & Ed are New York-based artists whose work explores the entanglement of life across biological, geological, and cosmic systems. Through speculative world building, they reveal connections that transcend human time, spatial boundaries, and sensory thresholds. Their practice spans sculpture, immersive installation, and interactive media, creating multisensory environments that invite audiences to shift perspective and inhabit the world beyond the limits of human perception. Technology serves not as spectacle but as a perceptual tool that makes the invisible felt and the distant intimately present.
Tin & Ed are alumni and mentors of NEW INC, the New Museum’s art and technology incubator. They have exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, and Pioneer Works in New York; the Getty Museum in Los Angeles; the Barbican Centre in London; the ArtScience Museum in Singapore; and the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. Their collaborators include Apple, Hermès and Nike. They have also lectured and led workshops at Yale School of Art, the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, and California College of the Arts.
