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 uncover 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.

They work fluidly across digital and physical materials, blending kinetic inflatables, soft sculptures, custom textiles, real-time simulations, augmented reality, and screen-based works. Central to their approach is a belief in the power of play, participation, and embodied experience, strategies that open space for curiosity, empathy, and ecological awareness. Rather than centering the human subject, their projects ask how we might experience the world from a more-than-human point of view.

Their process is collaborative and research driven, unfolding through workshops, participatory experiences, and site‑responsive commissions. Each work begins with a sensitivity to place, one that considers material, spatial, cultural, ecological, and historical contexts. Whether in a museum atrium or a public garden, they approach sites as living systems and potential collaborators. Alongside exhibitions, they partner with brands and organizations to imagine future uses of emerging technologies, creating prototypes and speculative concepts that explore how tools like spatial computing might shape our lives, environments, and ways of being.

Tin & Ed are alumni and mentors of NEW INC, the New Museum’s art and technology incubator. Their work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Rockefeller Center, Pioneer Works, the Barbican Centre, ArtScience Museum, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. They have collaborated with Apple, Hermès, Nike, Gentle Monster, and SPACE10 and have lectured and led workshops at Yale School of Art, Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, and California College of the Arts.
