Vinh Mai Nguyễn (b. 1998, Morgan City, Louisiana) is a Brooklyn-based artist, writer, and editor whose practice spans bodily augmentation, experimental writing, and digital interface. They create poetic systems—AR filters, press-on nails, essays, and speculative environments—that explore how language and permeabilities morph across touch, screen, and time.

Drawing from queer nightlife, Vietnamese American memory, and feminist posthumanism, their work has appeared in i-D Italy, Artbook @ MoMA PS1, ChaShaMa, Usagi NY, and virtual spaces like New Art City. They are currently completing their Master’s at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where they helped edit Adjacent - the student journal on emerging media - across issues 11 (Labor) and 12 (Becoming).

Vinh is drawn to the illegible, the ornamental, and the mundane glitch. Their practice often welcomes audiences who may not recognize art as art at first—embracing fantasy, refusal, and what Édouard Glissant called “the right to opacity.”
