Research Interests
Nima’s artistic research explores bodies, archives, and places that became suppressed and desertified due to being subjugated by political, economic, and technological progress. Via a digital voyage, he builds worlds that allow relocating the desertified from their initial setting into a new environment or platform, thus allowing the creation of new stories about them. Working with emergent media, he interrogates technology that claims accessibility, fairness, and welfare. He creates discursive ties around redefining and reworking data, unraveling how the databasing apparatuses service the dominance of the Global North in order to extract and manipulate the dignity of the Global South.
