Ali Phi (b. 1987, Tehran) is an Iranian-born transmedia artist, creative technologist, and musician currently based in Toronto. With a background in environmental engineering and experimental film, his multidisciplinary practice spans programming, generative audiovisual design, interactive media, and immersive installations. He explores architecture and spatial elements—both metaphorically and physically—crafting works that reveal the poetic interplay between geometry, light, science, and cultural memory. Drawing on ancient Persian motifs and Middle Eastern rituals, his creations reimagine heritage through a futuristic lens, bridging tradition with digital innovation.
In 2013, he founded NULLSIGHT, a Toronto-based collective of artists and programmers that curates and supports projects in digital arts and music. Since 2014, he has also been the independent curator of TADAEX (Tehran Annual Digital Art Exhibition). His work has been exhibited internationally at festivals and institutions such as Ars Electronica (Austria), Mutek (Canada), Patchlab (Poland), Tasmeem Doha (Qatar), TADAEX (Iran), and the Tehran Architecture Biennial, as well as in Germany, the UAE, and beyond. He continues to develop cross-disciplinary projects that explore digital culture and contemporary art across borders.
