Varyah (Mahshid Moghadasi) is an artist and designer working at the intersection of architecture, media art, and poetic computation. With a background in computational design, their practice explores the space between form and code, creating immersive environments that often blur the line between digital and physical.

Their work ranges from interactive installations and sculptural systems to algorithmically driven light and sound. Their most recent piece investigates the emotional and political weight of digital infrastructures — how borders, platforms, and protocols shape visibility, access, and belonging.

Previous projects include large-scale installations such as Data Temple (Otherworld Philadelphia), as well as interactive works like Digital Clay and Interactive Teapot, which explore real-time collaboration between human gesture and machine logic.

Varyah’s ongoing interest lies in how materials — whether spatial, digital, or social — hold memory, tension, and possibility.
