He has served as a board member of the Digital Art Committee, SIGGRAPH and as a juror for the digital art gallery at SIGGRAPH. He was also one of the activists during the ’85 art trend of China. In addition, he has previously worked as an art director, animator, graphic designer and executive art editor in local and board industries. Since transferring to the field of digital art, he has pioneered the "Digital-Primitive” and “Digital Nature” concepts, which has won great acclaim and a number of awards from both American and international art scenes.
His artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows. Such as SIGGRAPH (‘02-’07) in USA, Electronics Alive IV in USA, iDMAa04-08 in USA, the National Art Museum of China, Moscow Int’l Festival of Animation & Media Art, the Beijing World Art Museum, the Vancouver Art Galleryin Canada, the Shanghai DuoLun Museum of Modern Art, the National Centre for Computer Animation in UK, the Centre D’Art Contemporaine in Montreal Canada, the Singapore Art Museum, the LaSalle Univ. Art Museum in USA, the Noyes Museum of Art in USA, the Jiangsu Art Gallery, Beijing Song Zhuang Art Museum and the Guang Dong Art Museum, amongst others.,
Tan's art research since 2000 has focused mainly on the merging of conceptual animation, animation installation, interactive animation, and digital prints on rigid materials. His resulting work was awarded first place from the 5th Digital Art and Computer Animation Competition by the Beecher Center for Art and Technology, the "Best of Show" at iDEAa. He has also been awarded first place, as well as the excellence prize from the China Academy Awards., the Award of Excellence by the International Digital IV, the Award of Excellence at the Global Media Competition from gallery international etc.
In recent years, he has concentrated on exploring the relationship between technological singularity and art, and how this interface will change the creative force and provide a blueprint for future art expansion, which has conducted experiments with major advances art form such as ai-art, interactive-art, bio-art, nano-art, vr-art, 4d-printing and any other new art procedures combined. His publications include a number of articles regarding technological singularity art, contemporary art, art criticism, art education, and animation. In addition to these articles are his books and catalogues, such as Singularity Art, Singularity: Subversive BioArt,Digital Natural Art, Digital Artwork Collection II, Character Animation & Rigging, and Tan On Art/Art On Tan. His in-progress books are: Singularity: Invisible Art.[citation needed]
Primitive Level-Signals (2012) Digital Prints Installation w/ Signal Devices Applies spirit levels as a signal to describe a natural phenomenon in humans, where human brain development is an equalized procedure. The competing concepts of the brain—whether the battle of the brain's size versus its intellectual capacity, or of its technological versus its spiritual side—are always kept in equilibrium.
Refractive Brain Therapy Series (2010) Animation Installation w/ Digital Prints, Water & Glass
The project consists of a few large digital-brain prints on metal, which are placed into later, water-filled vats. This series shows a unique understanding of refractivity in both natural phenomena and social truth. These prints are placed alongside other animation installations and LCD monitors.
