​Artist Bio

​Mitchell F. Chan is a conceptual artist based in Toronto. Since 2006, he has created innovative new media installations and exhibited them internationally. Chan’s work often explores shifts in human sensibility in the age of technology, as well as the ways art’s commodity form can permeate and shape its expressive power.

​One critic has described Chan as “committed to the most serious ideas of conceptualism in the most playful way possible,” a characterization he embraces.

​His foundational blockchain artwork Digital Zones of Immaterial Pictorial Sensibility (2017) was recently exhibited in Monte di Pietà at the Fondazione Prada during the 60th Venice Biennale. His most recent project, The Zantar Triptych, is a series of real video games set within a fictional video game economy. It premiered at Nguyen Wahed in New York City in 2025 and made its Asian debut at Frieze Seoul with de Sarthe Gallery.
