Arcky Tang
About
Arcky is a London/Shanghai-based audiovisual artist working at the intersection of perception, consciousness, and post-human aesthetics. Through experimental sound, generative visuals, and immersive installations, he merges digital technology with metaphysical inquiry to create emotionally resonant and sensorially expansive experiences.
Rooted in surreal abstraction, perceptual phenomenology, and non-linear narrative structures, his work dissolves the boundary between inner psyche and external environment. He explores thresholds of consciousness and invites audiences into states of perceptual detachment—where dissonance and deep resonance coexist, and where fantasy and non-human perspectives entangle.
His AV performance synaptic._null, created in collaboration with @amoyniy, has been showcased at London’s world-renowned Outernet and featured in exhibitions investigating the evolving boundaries of digital imagination and sensory transformation. In 2024, he co-founded the independent art studio @dfff_studio, dedicated to installations, digital media, and interactive experiences.
Currently completing his MA in Digital Direction at the Royal College of Art, Arcky draws on a background in architecture that informs his distinctive approach to spatial narrative. This enables him to craft multisensory environments that act not just as stages, but as cognitive landscapes—fluid, fragmented, and affectively charged.
