Immanuel Koh (b. 1985, Singapore) creates systems and artefacts with deep neural networks (AI) to speculate on new forms of cultural, ecological, and aesthetic production capable of augmenting human and non-human agency.
Working in a transdisciplinary mode, Koh blurs the traditional boundaries of academic AI publications, professional architecture practice, governmental research projects, and design theory writings. He studied at the Architectural Association in London, practised at Zaha Hadid Architects, and holds a PhD from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne.
His artworks are characterised by what he terms “neural tectonics”, referring to the fleeting forms that emerge from the architectonics of AI systems. Koh works predominantly with physically built forms between the scale of objects and buildings through a highly sophisticated and bespoke AI process.
Koh’s selected exhibitions include Neural MONOBLOC Black: AI & Its Aesthetic Subversion at CAADRIA 2024 Inaugural AI-NITE in Singapore, the Singapore Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, SIGGRAPH Asia Art Gallery 2025 in Hong Kong, and the Singapore Pavilion: RasaTabula-Singapura at the National Museum of Singapore in 2026.
