Cyrus James Khan

Freelance Digital Artist, 3d Generalist, And Game Developer

Industry : The Arts

With a Swiss-Persian background, Cyrus is a self-taught IT, 3D art and design geek–he created robots and cities with cardboard at the age of 6, made stop-motion animations at 8, and picked up his first 3D software at 10. Today he creates new tools, art, and intellectual properties, and offers digital art, VR/AR interactive experience and video game development services. His superpower is being able to visualise anything his mind can ponder. He is most proud of presenting his digital art and blockchain technology explorations at TEDx Chiang Mai, of being a featured artist at Times Square as part of NFT.NYC Diversity of NFT Arts, of collaborating on a VR Art Installation with Kawita Vatanajyankur and the Central Group, and of creating and releasing his own web3-based video game, PodzWorld. He has recently been building an artist collective for future collaboration, and is also hoping to establish a local XR production facility. He is motivated by technological advancement which provides possibilities to create stories, worlds, even an entire universe, a concept fueled as a child by the spectacle and escapism realised by art and technology in films like "Star Wars", "Blade Runner" and "The Matrix".
