Entangled Agencies explores how humans and machines co-create, instruct, and learn from one another. Rather than treating machines as neutral tools or looming job-stealers, or simply as quick generators in a mechanical sense, this programme considers them as agents for creative collaborations.

Structured as a modular workshop series by supernormal.space, the programme engages three artist fellows who lead workshops, lectures, and public engagement activities, culminating in a final exhibition at Singapore Art Week 2026.

This programme is supported by the National Arts Council’s Art x Tech Lab initiative.

ABOUT THE ARTIST–FELLOWS

Isabella Ong (Module 1)

Isabella Ong is a Singapore-based artist whose work explores the relationship between data, form and environment. Working across installation, code and text, she examines how ecological, cultural and technical systems are structured and represented. Her practice engages with material processes alongside physical computation and generative methods, translating natural phenomena into spatial and visual languages.
