Ardalan SadeghiKivi (b. 1995, Tehran, Iran) is an artist, writer, and programmer, who graduated from the University of Tehran in 2018 with a degree in Architectural Engineering and is currently pursuing a Master of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts, where he operates at The Trope Tank, a Comparative Media Studies research group at MIT, and acts as the co-editor of Before|After, the 50th volume of MIT Press peer-reviewed journal Thresholds. SadeghiKivi's work engages different praxis, from Post-structuralism to Cosmism and Information Aesthetics, situated at the juncture of computational media and infrastructure, occultism, philosophy of science, and semiotics. He is working on a new series called Automaphagy, where he aims to map cannibalism to the world of computer programs and embellishes how anthropophagy can be redefined in computation, formulating tribes of devouring agents, and deliberately incorporating diffused methods and pieces to reshape external influences in recognizing multiplicity and diversity.
