Arya Hawker is a multimedia artist and filmmaker. His work explores audio-visual expression and human psychology. He uses parametric mathematics, CGI and colourful abstraction to explore heavy themes based on intersectional generational trauma. Since 2009, he has been experimenting with interactive art, real time visual effects, and large scale installations around the Pacific North West.
His work has been featured at events like Prettygoodnotbad, Bass Coast, and Rifflandia music festivals, with collectives Urban Therapy, Subdivision, and Obsidian and in animations like LEGO Ninjago, Deepa & Anoop, and Cleopatra in Space. He has hosted events and given academic presentations in the United Arab Emirates, United States, Japan, and Canada.

Arya’s artistic practice combines animation, procedural art and real time rendering to create cinematic experiences that feel tactile and surreal. His current project Caustica, is made in Unreal Engine and uses photorealism to tell a story of pollution, psychedelia and neocolonialism in a post apocalyptic future set against a mangrove bordering Pakistan and Iran. Caustica: Prelude is an audio-visual short film developed for New Forms 2025, featuring audio from Arya’s musical alias Kairo and psychedelic imagery from Caustica, combining calligraphy, 3D rendering and sound design into one dystopic hallucination.
