David Young is an artist whose practice interrogates our cultural obsession with technological innovation. Drawing on extensive personal experience with emerging technologies — from early AI in the 1980s to contemporary quantum computing — his work challenges both the technological monoculture and our assumptions about the inevitability of “the new.” Young combines open-source technologies and deep programming expertise, questioning the underlying biases embedded in emerging technologies. By prioritizing aesthetic experience and non-expert engagement, he argues that the future of technology can and should be more democratic and diverse.
David's work has been exhibited internationally and is held in collections including Kunstmuseum Bonn, Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, and the GENAP Collection in Erlenbach/Zürich. His work has been featured in numerous publications including Artforum magazine, and on the covers of Espace Art Actuel and IEEE Computer Graphics magazines.
David has a master's degree in visual studies from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, and a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He has taught at Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA) and Parsons School of Design (New York).
David lives and works in New York.
