Ashouri

Danesh ASHOURI (1987, Guilan) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Freiburg, Germany and Basel, Switzerland. His work explores the boundaries between art, technology and society, with a focus on simple aesthetic and provocative content. His approach to art relies on being informed and stay responsible for the world we create. Motivated by this concern and to be exposed to rhythms of technology, ASHOURI got enrolled in an engineering program and later in 2020, he completed a PhD in Neurotechnology at the University of Freiburg, Germany. He currently explores and leads research projects developing technologies that interface human brain (Brain-computer-interface) while conceptualizing transdisciplinary art initiatives to reach out to public.

The ArtTech series (starting in 2017) is a conceptual framework within which he tackles the obscure idea of future and how technology will diffuse into the texture of our lives. In particular, how technology will impact the identity and perception of self and mental health. Also, how artistic medium might raise above the illusions, hypes and hopes of the days yet to come.
