Brandon Tay is a Singaporean artist whose work examines the speculative possibilities of emerging technologies through diverse media such as moving images, generative AI, experimental game cultures, and sculptural objects. His practice leverages metafictional worldbuilding strategies to challenge assumptions about technology’s role in contemporary life, inviting viewers to rethink their relationship with digital materials and systems.

Influenced by gonzo thinkers like William S. Burroughs and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Tay’s artistic perspective combines literary and anthropological insights with technological inquiry. He explores concepts like »Machinic Animism,« applying non-human modes of understanding to AI and computational systems. Tay advocates for a reciprocal »bcoming« between humans and AI, urging us to embrace AI's alien logic and evolve through this symbiotic relationship. By shifting from anthropocentric expectations to a generative, hybrid consciousness, Tay’s work envisions a future where humans and AI collaboratively transcend traditional boundaries of thought and material cognition.
