Arash AkbariIR
Arash Akbari is a transdisciplinary artist from Tehran, Iran. He investigates the interplay between dynamic art systems, human perception, nonlinear narrative, and the convergence of physical and digital realms. His exploration spans the domains of generative systems, interaction design, immersive technologies, and real-time processing. Approaching the dominant technological paradigm with a critical perspective, he seeks alternative narratives where computational processes and interactive cybernetic systems give rise to concepts, ideas, and questions, eliciting affective personal and social impacts and responses. Akbari directs his experimental practices into audio-visual performances and installations, interactive software, sonic environments, and multisensory experiences.
The project Imkān (meaning possibility, contingent, existence in the Persian and Urdu languages) attempts to find aesthetic parallels between AI and geometry, digital pixel and Girih in Persian architectures, and between computational and cosmological codes which have the potential to act as the signifiers of the imperceptible.
Each culture is the actualization of a potentiality of the human being in a specific place on earth and at a specific moment in history. We are somehow limited to a particular space-time point that shapes our episteme. Would it be possible to reconcile different epistemes to go beyond our zeitgeist?
