Interdisciplinary Artist- Researcher | Architecture, AI, Cultural Systems
Sutanuka Jashu is an interdisciplinary artist–researcher and technologist whose work examines how artificial intelligence mediates cultural memory, identity, and technological infrastructures. Working at the intersection of Human–AI interaction, speculative design, and media archaeology, her practice combines research-creation, computational systems, and spatial storytelling to critically engage with extractive technological logics and prototype regenerative, culturally responsive futures. She is currently a PhD researcher in Interdisciplinary Design and Media at Northeastern University’s College of Arts, Media, and Design(CAMD), where she is affiliated with the Center for Transformative Media(CTM). As a Graduate Research Assistant, she leads the Retro Mobile Gaming Project (RMGP), a research platform exploring early mobile games as media-archaeological artifacts through AI-assisted archival reconstruction, participatory systems, and exhibition-based research dissemination.
Previously, she was a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University’s CAMLab, where she developed Media Sculpt, an immersive research project integrating AI, visual theory, and spatial computation. Her research is further informed by advanced study in architecture, critical theory, and computational design across international contexts. Her work has been exhibited and presented internationally, including at Ars Electronica, Yaga Gathering (Lithuania), Medialab Matadero (Madrid), the Cambridge Science Festival, and UAAD (New York). Spanning generative AI pipelines, analog systems, participatory gameplay, and material experimentation, her practice is committed to building speculative ecosystems where human–machine collaboration supports cultural resilience and ecological regeneration.
