Dalena Tran is an artist, designer, and educator exploring how language, media ecologies, and emerging technologies shape collective imagination and possible futures. Working across film, installation, and interactive platforms, she crafts environments that reframe our relationship to media construction, consumption, and circulation. As co-founder of Fuser, she develops open-source creative AI tools enabling artists and designers to work across all models and modalities for both experimental and professional work.

Her collaborative projects have appeared at New York Film Festival, MoMA PS1, Berlin Biennale, and Slamdance. Through her research at Antikythera, she develops speculative fiction to engage with themes of ecological interdependence, media propagation, and human-machine intelligence. Her work has received support from Serpentine Arts Technologies, Berggruen Institute, USC AI for Media and Storytelling, and RadicalxChange. Tran has taught media arts, creative software, and worldbuilding at CalArts, Ohio State, and UCLA.
