Farzané (Farzaneh Nouri) is an Iranian sound artist, creative coder and researcher based in the Netherlands, who works at the intersection of experimental music and computer science. Her practice-based research focuses on embodied knowledge in human-computer free improvisation. Embracing AI’s fundamental otherness while establishing relational connections, her practice aims at creating conditions of genuine encounter and collaborative destabilisation between the artist and the machine. This speculative approach moves beyond technological determinism and cultural essentialism, exploring how human and machine intelligences might co-evolve through creative tension and collaborative aesthetic discovery.
