What's the point of a human?
A question that sounds simple until you actually try to answer it. So I tried, and followed it further than I meant to.
There are strange ideas that keep me awake at night. GIZMOSIS is where I follow them, experimentally, wherever they go, then bring back the findings in a way that will probably keep you awake too.

Strip everything else away and one thing still seems to matter to the universe. This is the hunt for what it is.
Tell me what you have in mind. I'll reply by email.

New paintings, music releases, lesson openings and the odd Gizmosis experiment. A few emails a year, never spam, and you can leave anytime.
Armin Rahimi is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist and musician whose artistic practice explores the impermanence of existence, mass surveillance, and deepening isolation in an age of constant connection. Originally from Iran, he brings over a decade of experience across film, games and commercial work, from fine art, illustration and art direction to campaigns for print, social and TV, and more recently video, websites and creative coding.
His upcoming exhibition, Cosmic Germs, brings together mixed-media paintings, animated works and interactive installations. The project is currently in development, with completion targeted for late 2027.
Music is the other half of his practice and a lifelong passion. He writes and performs his own songs and is currently working on his debut EP.
He also loves teaching. Through Drop D Guitar Studio he gives in-person guitar lessons in Toronto, helping students play the music they love and find their own sound.
