Sepideh Takshi

Sepideh Takshi is an XR artist and interdisciplinary researcher with an MFA( Master of Fine Art) from Arts University Plymouth. Her practice explores the intersection of art, technology, and digital culture, focusing on how artificial intelligence, XR, and glitch aesthetics can reimagine archives, memory, and identity. Sepideh’s research is grounded in the concept of the decolonisation archive, a framework where data, time, and digital waste merge to question linear histories and create new modes of storytelling and collective imagination.

She is the founder and developer of the web app One Thousand and One Nights, a generative storytelling platform that integrates AI-driven narratives, multilingual text generation, and visual interaction to connect oral heritage with contemporary digital experience. Her technical and creative expertise spans creative coding (Python, TouchDesigner, GPT-4 APIs), AR/VR, and interactive media systems. Sepideh has exhibited internationally across the United Kingdom, the United States, Turkey, Dubai, and Iran, presenting immersive works that merge theory, code, and poetic experimentation to explore how technology mediates memory and imagination.
