Arron Teo

Arron Teo is a Singaporean visual artist, photographer and educator with over two decades of industry and teaching experience. A recent MFA Fine Art graduate from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), University of the Arts Singapore (UAS), his practice-based research examines generative-AI, image authority and social amnesia. Through his conceptual framework, Human Imaginates, AI Hallucinates, he exposes the vulnerabilities of cultural memory in the age of AI.

Recognised early in his career as one of Prestige magazine’s “Seven Artists to Watch,” Arron has developed an art and photography portfolio spanning global commissions across New York, Paris, Shanghai and Bangkok. Today, he merges his photo-documentary expertise with algorithmic myth-making, creating video installations that challenge how audiences consume visual media.

Demonstrating strong academic leadership, Arron co-led and curated NAFA’s inaugural MFA graduation exhibition, Glitch in the Garden, earning The Best Studentship Award for his executive stewardship. As a recognised voice in the discourse of AI in art, Arron has presented his research at City University of Hong Kong (China), Multimedia University (Malaysia) and Waseda University (Japan). He will publish his peer-reviewed paper in the ICAIHE 2026 Springer Conference Proceedings-CCIS.

Currently an Adjunct Lecturer at NAFA, Arron actively bridges traditional craft with critical AI literacy to empower the next generation of artists.
