ARTIST STATEMENT
Nooshin is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores memory, identity, participation, and the evolving relationship between humans and technology. Working across interactive installation, projection mapping, creative coding, video, and participatory media, she creates experiences that invite audiences to become active contributors rather than passive viewers.
Her work investigates how personal and collective narratives are shaped, fragmented, preserved, and transformed through digital systems. Through responsive environments and audience-centered experiences, she creates spaces for reflection, connection, and shared storytelling.
