Tu is a young artist who was educated at Hanoi Fine Art University where he studied graphic design. An artist of considerable energy he is interested in all forms of art but in particular audio/visual media art. He freely works across disciplines currently active as visual artist, graphic designer, photographer, VJ and a particular focus at the moment is television production, he produces a television program each week for TVM.
He is very excited by the possibilities offered by new media and very eager to explore these. The opportunity to collaborate with British audio/visual collective DFUSE in their British Council supported Re-imaging the City project has further inspired him to continue work in this field. He has also engaged in projects and collaborations with other international artists, including a residency project in Korea.
His recent works include:
Pho is a simple video animation displaying the letters Pho, but with the accents of the Vietnamese language constantly changing around them. Depending on these accents, the meaning of the letters changes, it can have up to 20 different meanings, this constant shift of meaning comments upon the need for variety of perspective. PingPong - A 3 way ping-pong game in which Tu plays against himself presented using large scale projection on the architectural surfaces of the city. Panorama presents a 360 interactive panorama of various sites in HCMC. Goodbye and Goodluck is an experimental video, featuring symbols of the pig, a sign of good luck and comments upon ideas of fate in traditional culture.
