II. Selected media art projects
I make media art between the ancient and the future — meaningful interactions drawn from my heritage, everyday fantasies and contemplation.
III. About
Don’t be shy, let’s say hi.
Hi! I’m Siman (sz-mahn). I’ve been Siman for — days.
“Si” (思) means thinking, and “Man” (曼) means graceful and extended. I guess that means I’m someone who thinks long and far.
And I do think a lot. Sometimes, those thoughts turn into things I make. Through making and creating, I’ve found a pure joy in being alive.
I love exploring technology and bringing ideas to life through the art of code—creating beautiful, seamless experiences.
Want to create something together? Let me know!
