Tyler James Bangkok is a queer, American artist who has lived and worked in Asia for ten years. He has lived in Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, China, and Hong Kong. Currently, he is based in Bangkok, where he lives with his Thai-Taiwanese boyfriend and their adopted dogs while working as a freelance artist and producer. TJB was a founding member of Minneapolis Art on Wheels, a bike-based graffiti projection group. As part of this group, TJB has planned hundreds of public projections utilizing interactive media and video. This is still the focus of TJBs art today as it still seeks to engage the public with technology in artmaking to create new experiences and engagements in Asia. TJB now works doing public digital art events in Bangkok to pay for charity engagements. TJB’s charity tech classes called Move_Make_Create_ teaches new media skills to children in Bangkok’s slums who don’t have access to art or technology classes now. TJB also partners with Chulalongkorn University’s FaaMai digital art hub to do public events at their dome and will be doing a teaching training workshop in 2021. In China, TJB engages with various social projects and the children of migrant workers who get left behind in villages and lack proper education or community resources. And Move_Make_Create_ also does various interactive events in art institutes, concerts, business openings, and celebrations. Stylistically, Tyler James Bangkok views videos like painting and utilizes painting as its inspiration for video creations. Through creating video, painting, programming interactive video instruments, and performances, TJB seeks to explore its queer fantasy and the abstract world within and to affect and shape reality. And TJB invites others to join him with play and engagement through interactive works. For the collage work, with life experiences between male and female, between Eastern and Western culture/ideologies, between capitalism and socialism, and between the developed and the developing world, TJB finds the history and tradition of dada collage techniques useful in engaging people and mixing perspectives that different groups might have. With more media to grab at, TJB wants to modernize the collage and seeks to use its power related to "Chaos Magic" and "detournement" counter-culture. The collage process allows TJB to grab at the structures, ideas, and technology we currently have and think about how they can be combined or juxtaposed to create a visual poem to deal with current issues and feelings.
