Ran Slavin is an artist and composer working across moving image, sound, installation, and generative systems. His practice examines the psychological, material, and political dimensions of contemporary technologies, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence, virtuality, and mediated perception.
Through immersive installations and experimental audiovisual works, Slavin explores how emerging technological systems reshape notions of authorship, memory, and reality, often positioning technology not as a tool of progress but as a material, extractive, and cultural force. His work operates at the intersection of media archaeology, speculative aesthetics, and electronic music, foregrounding tension between futurism, deep time, and human subjectivity.
