Ngọc Nâu x Vincent Piton

Ngọc Nâu is an independent artist working with moving image, CGI, 3D scanning, installation and photographic light objects. Her work follows the transformation of landscape and belief in Vietnam: Mother Goddess rituals held next to semiconductor factories, socialist monuments reconstructed in CGI, family memory rebuilt as light.

She studied at the Hanoi Arts College and the Vietnam Fine Art University, managed the San Art Laboratory between 2013 and 2016, and has exhibited her art work in over 15 countries, including at the Singapore Biennale, Documenta 15, the Thailand Biennale, the Gangwon International Triennale, NTU CCA Singapore, the Seoul Museum of Art and Art Basel Hong Kong. Recent residencies include the Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany, Rupert in Lithuania and Sa Sa Art Projects in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. She is a Prince Claus Fund awardee.

Recent works include Memory Gesture (National Gallery Singapore, 2026), Only the Present Moment Is Real (Folkwang Museum, Essen), All in Good Time (2024) and Virtual Reverie: Echoes of a Forgotten Utopia (2023).

Vincent Piton is a creative technologist, engineer, software developer and mountain guide. He builds computational systems, interactive interfaces and feedback mechanisms. From Pivitim (2016), a randomness driven oracle about pattern seeking, to NeuroFlame (2024), an EEG neurofeedback experiment, and Agora (2024), on collective prediction, his work examines the unstable boundary between what a system produces and what an observer believes.

Eat the Road (2017-2018), a 3,000 km botanical expedition across New Zealand, introduced a question that still runs through his work: what remains of a place when experience becomes data? Druidz (2025-2026) reverses it, turning 75 million botanical records into a mobile platform that sends people back out into the landscape.
