Salem Al-Mansoori

Salem Al-Mansoori is a new media/interactive designer. His body of work crosses disciplines and varies from digital fabrication to data visualization to algorithm-based visual art installations.

His professional and academic background is in computational engineering; he graduated summa cum laude from Khalifa University in 2006. He worked as a manager of product development in Etisalat, and also holds an MBA from the American University in Dubai.

However, his passion lies in the construction of aesthetic systems that are capable of generating infinitely varying visual elements. In 2015, Salem completed his Master’s in Interactive Telecommunications degree in the ITP program at Tisch School of the Arts, NYU, in New York, where he studied computational media, physical computing, data visualization, and creative technology.

His work has been exhibited in the Emirates Society of Fine Arts, Design Days Dubai, and Tashkeel, among others. He was also one of the four chosen Emirati designer in the first Design Road Dubai program to create and exhibit a piece with the mentorship of Lagranja, a design studio in Barcelona.

He is the winner of Tashkeel/Van Cleef & Arpel’s first edition of Middle East’s Emerging Designer of the Year award in 2013.
