Austin Taylor Hall is a photographer and artist based between New York City and Kansas City, and an MFA candidate in Photography at Pratt Institute. Working across photo-based installation and moving image sculpture, his practice responds to the shifting landscapes of the internet and the constant influx of images encountered through phones and computer screens, where circulation and repetition increasingly inflate the meaning and value of pictures.

Hall’s work interrogates questions of AI, labor, and authorship within contemporary image production. Integrating analog photography, digital processes, moving image, and collaborations with both human assistants and AI-assisted prompts, he examines how authorship and signification circulate within contemporary visual culture.

Through sculptural installations, image archives, and time-based media, Hall translates digital behaviors such as scrolling, compression, saturation, and repetition into embodied spatial experiences. Moving fluidly between lens-based media, his practice approaches the image not as a fixed object but as an unstable system shaped by acceleration, automation, and visual excess.
