Chris Tegho
Chris Tegho (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist, creative technologist, and machine learning engineer whose work explores how we perceive ourselves and how emerging technologies shape our perception of self, relationships, and the world around us. Inspired by ecological systems, queer experiences of belonging, and contemporary dance, Chris explores the ethical, emotional, and relational dimensions of AI and technology. Their practice challenges human-centric perspectives, embraces ecological interconnections, and celebrates the multiplicity of minds, perspectives, and ecosystems through playful and exploratory methods.
In addition to their artistic practice, Chris has developed advanced machine learning solutions for organizations like Forensic Architecture, with work exhibited at the De Young Museum. Chris has also collaborated with artists like Zach Blas on immersive installations such as Cultus (Arebyte and Secession) and Profundior (Berlin Biennale, Hamburger Bahnhof), works which examine AI religiosity and interrogate the extractive data practices underlying AI's rapidly advancing emotional intelligence.
