சூரஜ் பாரதி
(Suraj Barthy in Tamil)

Suraj Barthy Selvabarathy (b. 1992, Chennai, India; lives and works in Brooklyn, New York) is a media artist and interaction designer who explores the traces that people leave across time through his art practice. As a Post-Doctoral Research Resident at New York University, his research focuses on time, connectedness, and technology, and he works across mediums including video, textiles, physical computing, and code. Suraj’s aim is to create participatory experiences that help participants become more sensitive to the things they see, hear and comprehend.

Suraj’s Everyday Art Project, which has been ongoing for over 8 years, has taught him patience and a rigorous belief in practice (time). His work aspires to leave a trace in the space-time continuum, inspiring others to engage with the world and leave their own unique mark across time.

Suraj is an Adjunct Arts Professor at NYU Tisch's Interactive Telecommunications Program & Interactive Media Arts (NYU ITP/IMA). His teaching areas span habit formation, design and interactive art.

As a Designer specialising in UX and interaction design with a focus on Accessibility, Suraj has worked  with startups and big tech companies like Microsoft and Samsung, building products from scratch across mobile, desktop, web, and XR experiences. With experience as an IC and working in teams, Suraj finds great joy in working with people, especially collaborating with product and engineering folks.
