Misagh Azimi joins Futureproof Festival 2026

Interdisciplinary artist and AI researcher Misagh Azimi is part of the Futureproof Festival 2026 speaker program.

Illustrated Futureproof Festival featured speaker card for Misagh Azimi. His portrait, wearing a black shirt with arms crossed, appears against a midnight field of painted waveform fragments and signal diagrams. Hand-lettered text names him as an Interdisciplinary Artist & AI Researcher and includes the October 28–30, 2026 Vancouver dates and BC + AI Ecosystem presenter mark.

Misagh Azimi is an interdisciplinary artist and AI researcher, currently completing his PhD in Creative AI. His compositions and performances have been presented on stages in Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. His research examines authorship and labor in AI-mediated practice, and the development of ethical, artist-centered technologies for music.

He is the creator of Fragmenta, an open-source, locally run AI tool that helps turn generative AI into a playable instrument. At Futureproof he is part of the opening-night creative AI live set — the AI supplies fragments, not the composition.

Meet Misagh Azimi and join us in Vancouver from October 28–30, 2026.
