It&nbsp;asks: What becomes of personal, meaningful writing when the boundaries between author and algorithm begin to blur? &nbsp; The work draws on postmodernist literature, seminal research on machine learning’s pitfalls, and glitch feminism to explore how language drifts, fragments, and reforms when the boundaries between author and algorithm blur. Through behaviors like drifting letters , fog-like visual effects, and live speech-to-text overlays, the piece unsettles linear reading and invites users into a space of multiplicity and instability. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, Palimpsest functions as both artwork and prototype: a speculative tool for imagining what public, poetic AI infrastructures might feel like. It is designed for readers who have a complicated relationship with the screen — those caught between longing for the solitude of books and the constant pull of digital attention.Visit the piece&nbsp;here https://vinhmn.space/Surface-Tension-2024 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 01:06:16 +0000 Vinh Nguyen https://vinhmn.space/Surface-Tension-2024 Surface Tension (2024) <img width="3930" height="5895" width_o="3930" height_o="5895" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4e472810eaf621445a8bfeda32c14d20e25a2236ae9ddaede0294efc94fe64ce/505A9321.jpg" data-mid="235440331" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4e472810eaf621445a8bfeda32c14d20e25a2236ae9ddaede0294efc94fe64ce/505A9321.jpg" /> <img width="3693" height="5539" width_o="3693" height_o="5539" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9865fc3fec4df7721ae561a185c7067938ba0c2b0f2aded0bbeecbacf87b3905/505A9318.jpg" data-mid="235441826" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9865fc3fec4df7721ae561a185c7067938ba0c2b0f2aded0bbeecbacf87b3905/505A9318.jpg" /> <img width="3919" height="5878" width_o="3919" height_o="5878" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7db51738c2e72c57e6881e19ee06cf72598417848e45ee2f4546f1edbfd3fa59/505A9319.jpg" data-mid="235441827" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7db51738c2e72c57e6881e19ee06cf72598417848e45ee2f4546f1edbfd3fa59/505A9319.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2cc602819badf850c57a77a99dd8035f67f056319cca065130924a58a77d3cd7/505A9387-1.jpg" data-mid="235442052" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2cc602819badf850c57a77a99dd8035f67f056319cca065130924a58a77d3cd7/505A9387-1.jpg" /> Medium: Sculptural nail forms (3D printed + hand-built), documentation photography Dimensions: Variable Collaborators: Lingyi Li and Miya Sheker (NYU ITP doc lab photographers) Description: These nail sculptures explore the fingertip as a site of intimacy, labor, and cultural inscription. Informed by the aesthetics of care and adornment passed through Asian diasporic lineages, the work engages the body as interface—one that both connects and resists. A quiet gesture toward how ornament becomes archive, and how survival becomes sculpture. https://vinhmn.space/Crawling-Space-2023 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 05:14:11 +0000 Vinh Nguyen https://vinhmn.space/Crawling-Space-2023 Crawling Space (2023) <img width="1952" height="1404" width_o="1952" height_o="1404" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/023b55019b3b3dcc0659b354260bb1bf589a9fa1865f782ea8e0e7c0cddc0f67/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-1.51.45PM.png" data-mid="238011018" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/023b55019b3b3dcc0659b354260bb1bf589a9fa1865f782ea8e0e7c0cddc0f67/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-1.51.45PM.png" /> <img width="1954" height="1428" width_o="1954" height_o="1428" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46cdb3e1f610b6a572e0a3ab6d8d29dd2e130dc69e0fd5fd369d1ecca2f427e2/VinhNguyen_crawlingspace_2023.png" data-mid="238011015" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46cdb3e1f610b6a572e0a3ab6d8d29dd2e130dc69e0fd5fd369d1ecca2f427e2/VinhNguyen_crawlingspace_2023.png" /> <img width="1952" height="1422" width_o="1952" height_o="1422" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cdf6ed2c930132c53c29fe9c8a8867a0ad518c433dab73f285f744e5a8cbc17a/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-1.52.21PM.png" data-mid="238011019" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cdf6ed2c930132c53c29fe9c8a8867a0ad518c433dab73f285f744e5a8cbc17a/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-1.52.21PM.png" /> Medium: Gaussian Splat (Polycam)&nbsp;

︎︎︎&nbsp;︎&nbsp;︎ site currently under constructionVinh Mai Nguyen (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 a graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (’25), where they helped edit&nbsp;Adjacent -&nbsp;the student journal on emerging media - across issues 11 (Labor)&nbsp;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 Edouard Glissant called “the right to opacity.” View their CV here. <img width="1284" height="2778" width_o="1284" height_o="2778" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c99127e341ad0bf23d129a54c86b6c2cd7291339a80affbead61ab94de320b35/IMG_2381.PNG" data-mid="160400822" border="0" data-scale="18" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c99127e341ad0bf23d129a54c86b6c2cd7291339a80affbead61ab94de320b35/IMG_2381.PNG" /> https://vinhmn.space/Home Wed, 02 Nov 2022 22:15:59 +0000 Vinh Nguyen https://vinhmn.space/Home
