Spencer Chang is an artist who makes software you can touch. Working across internet spaces, interactive sculpture, and creative infrastructure, these works engage with everyday practices and material to activate the residual human care, play, and connection that emerge from our relationships with and through technology. These works leverage whimsical intimacy and critical joy to interrogate our systems, invite different imaginations, and provide the means to reinvent them. Spencer is the creator of playhtml, an open-source platform for creating millions of tiny internets, with tens of thousands of users, and his work Computing Shrines was awarded a San Francisco Artist Grant to support a public art installation in Golden Gate Park. Spencer’s work has been showcased by the Gray Area & the de Young Museum (SF, US), the Tokyo University of the Arts (JP), Museum of the Moving Image (NY, US), Ars Electronica (AUT), and the National Communication Museum (AUS). They have created commissions for Hyundai Artlab, Alserkal Avenue, the Internet Archive, and Wikipedia and been supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission, Rhizome, and the Ethereum Foundation. A NEW INC Y11 member, their projects have been featured in MIT Tech Review, The Cut, It’s Nice That, and Frieze, and they have taught workshops internationally for institutions such as Stanford University, NYU ITP, and SFPC.
