Thai Tai Pham (Viet.: Phạm Thái Tài) is a German-Vietnamese multimedia and performance artist, curator and director.
His artistic investigations take shape through audiovisual installations, performances, and documentary works combining video and sound compositions. Beyond his ongoing exploration of transit and cultural identity, Thai Tai uses personal reflections to examine how mobility, movement and migration influence listening practices and the perception of sound and space in an increasingly globalized world as a multinational personality.
Graduated in Philosophy, he continued his studies in a master's program in Media Art and Design at Bauhaus Weimar (Germany) and the Faculty of Fine Arts at UPV València (Spain). He has made significant collaborations and contributions to theater, film, and dance productions, particularly in the fields of stage, light, and video concepts. His artistic focus centers on sensory perception and the dynamics of acceleration and alienation, as well as on strategies for decelerating modern life—always approached with a keen sensitivity to create atmospheric and ceremonial experiences.
Soundscapes and social interactions in public spaces, as well as in transit and non-places, often serve as sources of inspiration, investigation, and intervention for him. As an artistic director and producer, Pham has founded several art formats in an international context. He co-founded the International Festival for Body, Sound and City - SOMAPHON in 2023 together with Cosmo Schueppel. Their collaboration also includes radio.rituals – Open Sonic Lab, an open community for site-specific radio improvisations. The public art series "Sonnen und Lauschen mit Soletti" (Sunbathing and Listening with Soletti) became a field of public listening practice and experimentation for electroacoustic composition and live-performance. Soletti—a solar-powered, mobile, multi-channel sound installation—has since become a long-term instrument and research tool within Pham’s artistic practice.
Together with Timm Henger and Timm Albers, he founded the design collective Studio TTTT - an independent studio creating concepts, identities, publications, websites and digital experiences for cultural and commercial clients.
