Guo Ming is a Singapore-based composer, visual artist, and creative director whose practice spans experimental sound design, audiovisual performance, and generative systems. He is one half of the art duo TZECHAR, whose works have been described as confrontational, ritualistic, and structurally defiant. Ming is the lead composer for the upcoming Hollywood adaptation of Crossed (dir. Rob Jabbaz), marking a historic milestone as the first Southeast Asian artist to lead the composition for a Hollywood feature film. His previous score for The Sadness (2021) was widely acclaimed for its emotionally volatile integration of traditional Chinese instrumentation, industrial textures, and narrative-driven sound design.
As co-founder and creative director of NONFORM, Ming leads a multidisciplinary team producing 3D motion graphics, music videos, and immersive audiovisual content for brands and institutions. While initially experimenting with early generative AI models such as GANs and diffusion networks, NONFORM continues to engage with the most current developments in artificial intelligence, using them not as mere tools of automation but as extensions of speculative aesthetics, emotional engineering, and narrative worldbuilding. The studio’s aim remains consistent: to create experiences that resonate viscerally with audiences across sensory registers.
Ming’s artistic contributions have been recognized in both scholarly and institutional contexts. He was profiled in Semionauts of Tradition (2018), a book on influential experimental artists in Singapore by cultural anthropologist Dr. Juliette Yu-Ming Lizeray, and was commissioned by Triple Canopy, the prestigious NYC-based avant-garde online publication, for Harmonious Product (合品) — a video work critiquing political spectacle and commercial aesthetics in contemporary Chinese media, later exhibited at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
