Afrooz PartoviAfrooz Partovi is an artist-architect who explores intangible dimensions of time and space through immersive technologies and time-based media. Her work delves into absences as vessels to trace what has been forgotten, erased, or transformed into nonexistence. Digital realms serve as both medium and metaphor in this exploration, challenging the primacy of physicality as the definitive marker of presence. Her work explores how the recontextualization of absences in digital realms can uncover deeper narratives of resistance and resilience. Afrooz earned her Master’s degree in Architecture from Tehran University of Science and Technology in 2020 and is currently completing a second Master’s degree in Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon University. She has recently received the Creative Research Grant from XRTC and the FRFF grant from the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry.
