https://youtu.be/92N5JztxDuE?feature=shared Jiroft Illusions is an exploration of machine hallucination and the artificial gaze’s interpretation of the ancient civilization of Jiroft. This project employs a custom multimodal workflow that intentionally amplifies machine hallucinations rather than minimizing them. Unlike traditional AI applications that prioritize accuracy and realism, this workflow leverages hallucinations as a creative force. The iterative

Haunted by Peri Haunted by Peri is an interactive media artwork that explores the experience of individuals possessed by Peris—mythical beings from Persian folklore, once revered for their connection to femininity and childbirth. With the transition to patriarchal societies, Peris were stripped of their divine status and reimagined as malevolent, seductive spirits who enchant and

Utopian Dystopia Utopian Dystopia is a hybrid media project consisting of still images, augmented reality (AR) sculptures created with Spark AR, and a two-device communication system. Rooted in the contrasting metaphors of Rudaki’s poetry, the project explores how dystopian imagery, generated via diffusion models and based on symbolic sketches, interacts with lush natural backgrounds traditionally

Sentimental Machine, Sentimental Artist Sentimental Machine, Sentimental Artist investigates the emotional and interpretive shifts that occur when poetic language travels across linguistic and computational boundaries. Centered around the quatrains of Persian poet Omar Khayyam, the project juxtaposes human interpretations of the original Farsi texts with machine-generated sentiment readings of their English translations. By creating still

scripted silence This project presents a multi-sensory, interactive visual triptych—also available in virtual reality—developed in Unity. It critically examines how large language models (LLMs) fabricate, distort, or erase knowledge relating to extremely under-resourced languages and cultural archives, particularly those silenced by political suppression and systemic neglect.   https://youtu.be/AnF-EjBVIv8?feature=shared Conceptual Foundation:  Focusing on Middle Persian (Pahlavi), the

L-Atur L-Atur is a web-based generative design platform that enables users—regardless of technical background—to produce highly customizable visual forms using Lindenmayer Systems (L-Systems), a mathematical formalism originally developed to simulate plant growth. This project reimagines L-Systems not as scientific tools, but as a creative language for procedural aesthetics, opening access to complex generative design through

Persian Garden This project reexamines the Persian garden—a historical symbol of paradise—through a contemporary generative system rooted in Islamic-Iranian architectural grammar, symbolism, and computational design. It explores how mathematical abstraction, cultural patterning, and interactive technology combine to create a sensory experience reflecting growth, harmony, and renewal. Inspired by the geometric patterns of Girih Sâzî and

The Eternal Woman The Eternal Woman is a short experimental video that reinterprets Sadegh Hedayat’s seminal novel The Blind Owl through the lens of machine hallucination, artificial perception, and multimodal generative art. Using large language models and AI-driven image synthesis, the work re-narrates Hedayat’s fragmented and nightmarish text through an artificial doppelgänger—an entity that hovers

Machine-Faced explores the evolving relationship between human identity and computational transformation through a series of self-portraits shaped and distorted by generative AI models. These portraits exist not as final images, but as moments within a process of co-creation—a dialogue between the artist’s inner vision and the machine’s latent imagination. Rather than using AI as a
