Curriculum Vitae
Mari Anoian
Innovation & Communications Strategist, Art + Technology
I work at the intersection of art, science, and business.
Rooted in media art, I have spent the past several years exploring the world of information: digital systems, emerging technologies and business tools that transmute experience into value. Across my work, I use a research-driven approach — looking for patterns, hidden relations, and the fundamental logic behind complex systems.
