Nooshin Mohtashami
I’m an artist, creative technologist, educator, and facilitator based in Toronto.
My practice centers on interactive and immersive installations that invite participation, curiosity, and shared experience. Through these works, I challenge the static nature of art by creating environments that unfold through audience engagement rather than passive viewing.
I began my career in computer engineering and tech entrepreneurship, drawn to the idea of using technology for social good. Over time, that path led me to art, where I found a more direct and intimate way to explore social and political questions. I now use creative technology as a material to build participatory experiences that spark reflection and conversation.

With my work, I explore the value society places on images and objects, and how they shape meaning in the places and times we inhabit. I’m especially interested in exploring the boundaries between media: painting, tangible objects, video, and installation, allowing these forms to overlap and inform one another within immersive spaces.
At the core of my practice is an ongoing exploration of social connection and social freedom. I design open-ended environments where meaning emerges through interaction, encouraging viewers to pause, reflect, and consider how connection and freedom show up in their own lives through shared, everyday moments.
