Mingde “MT” Zeng

Mingde “MT” Zeng is a Chinese-Canadian artist and computer scientist based in Toronto. Working across photography, computational media, installation, sound, moving image, and writing, he explores how images, technologies, and social situations shape perception, behavior, and meaning. Moving between observation and construction, his projects develop through sequences and systems that allow their underlying tensions to unfold. Drawing on both artistic and computational practice, MT approaches AI as material, collaborator, agent, and cultural condition. He examines how people encounter machines that increasingly see, interpret, respond, and act, and how these encounters reorganize perception, judgment, and agency. Through images, voices, arguments, and interactive systems, his work brings embodied human experience into contact with computational ways of understanding the world.
