Bio

Tam Lines is a multidisciplinary artist, writer and musician. Their work often focuses on the boundaries between the human and nonhuman, drawing on queer theory, new materialism, cybernetics, and online media to generate playful, poetic, and introspective projects.

​

Tam works with painting, drawing, and film, but since 2021 pivoted to less traditional art forms, developing their sound art, writing, and performance at Goldsmiths College until late 2023. During this time, they explored the playful, disruptive potential of the recorded (and broadcasted) voice, making a series of audio fictions exploring anxious entanglements with online media and contemporary AI models.

​

They also create music under the moniker Tam Lin.

​

In September 2022, Tam set up Crossovers Collective with Jessica Beechey, an ongoing art and music collective with regular shows and meet-ups in South London.
