Darin Saito-Gultom





Enveloped by the trance of computer video games at the local electronics store in the early 2000s, Darin Saito-Gultom has centered his entire creative, artistic, and professional practice around digital media and the possibilities that transcend it.

Anywhere from the moving image to the electronic hardware that runs it, deepening both our understanding and utility of these newly-innovated technologies form the foundations of his research and application.

During the day, Darin works professionally as a product designer, having worked for many reputable organizations that has sharpened his craft over the years. His current stint is at Zillow, based in Seattle but working remote from New York.
