Ravin Raori is an architect, creative producer, interdisciplinary artist and educator. He is a Senior Lecturer in Narrative Media on the BA (Hons) Graphic and Media Design course at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.
Ravin’s practice integrates architecture, moving image, performance and emerging technologies to construct transformative spatial and narrative experiences. His research examines how technological systems mediate human experience, memory and collective futures, often manifesting through immersive media, mixed-reality installations and films.
His recent projects include Lines that Divide Us, a mixed-reality film and installation about the Partition of India developed during an arts residency at Zurich University of the Arts and Kornhausforum Bern; Dancing Lady, an ongoing exploration inspired by Indian modernist painter Jamini Roy that examines modernism, embodiment and material storytelling through textile and motion capture, developed in collaboration with researchers at London College of Fashion and further industry partners; and Counterproductive, a co-created film and interactive installation investigating biases rooted in gender identity within systems of Artificial Intelligence. The film has received multiple international awards, screening at art and film festivals across the world.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale, Ars Electronica, Tate Britain and Kornhausforum Bern.
Ravin was part of the Creative Producer Programme at Ars Electronica, where he (along with 22 other creative practitioners) co-authored A Manifesto for Creative Producing, presented in various formats at the 2021 and 2023 editions of the festival.
He holds a Master of Architecture (Distinction) from The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, and a Bachelor of Architecture from The University of Hong Kong. He is also a Fellow of Advance HE and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (Distinction) from UAL.
