Rouzbeh Shadpey is a sound and transdisciplinary artist based in Montreal. Having trained in medicine and psychiatry, Rouzbeh is interested in the capacity of art and theory to poetically translate and critically reshape scientific rigidities and unambiguities. Rouzbeh is patiently growing his practice, with current work focusing on the invisibly ill body, the deafening silence of noise, and sound as weakness.
Rouzbeh is also musician. His work under the identity Golpesar, an affectionate term given to him by his grandmother, imbues the aesthetics of academic computer music with the affective qualities of experimental and club music within a poetic post-genre narrative.
