An Exploration of Human Creativity and Machine Imagination
Upcoming Album · Vol. 1
MindTripz is an ongoing art project and creative experiment by artists Golareh and Robyn Safarian, exploring the relationship between human experience, artistic expression, and machine imagination.
The project brings together two artists whose individual creative practices have developed through different aesthetics, life experiences, perspectives, and ways of understanding the world. Each arrives with an established and evolving artistic language, formed independently of the collaboration.
Their work is not an attempt to erase those differences or arrive at a singular creative identity. Rather, MindTripz creates a space in which distinct artistic voices can coexist, intersect, diverge, and discover new possibilities.
At the center of the project is an exploration of the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
Machine intelligence offers new instruments and possibilities for expression, but it does not replace the imagination, experience, intention, or artistic judgment that each individual brings to the work.
The artists approach these technologies through their respective creative sensibilities, developing original concepts, musical compositions, visual narratives, and experimental forms that reflect their individual and shared explorations.
The technology may be shared. The imagination behind it is not.
Spanning music, visual art, film, and mediums yet to be discovered, MindTripz is both an artistic collaboration and an ongoing experiment in the nature of creativity.
There is no predetermined aesthetic, fixed genre, or prescribed destination.
The project is intended to remain open to experimentation, transformation, and the unexpected.
Golareh
Read biography
Golareh is a multidisciplinary artist, author, filmmaker, and creative director based in Los Angeles, whose work spans contemporary painting, photography, film, digital media, literature, and experimental music. Her creative practice explores the human condition, with a particular interest in identity, consciousness, perception, and the complexities of our inner worlds.
Born in Tehran and educated in Spain, Canada, and the United States, Golareh’s academic background in political science, criminology, journalism, and mass communications has influenced her approach to storytelling and her interest in human behavior.
A painter for more than two decades, her work moves between abstraction and figuration, exploring psychological tension, emotional complexity, and the contrasting forces that shape human experience. Her paintings and conceptual projects remain central to her artistic practice.
Alongside her fine art, Golareh has worked extensively in film, television, and creative production. Formerly Vice President of Production at Fox Broadcasting Company, her experience encompasses filmmaking, producing, editing, and content development. These disciplines have shaped her approach to composition, narrative, rhythm, and the relationship between image and sound.
In 2016, she founded MindTripz Inc., an independent creative production company dedicated to filmmaking, digital content, and experimental projects. That same year, she launched Gogimogi, an artistically playful design house inspired by nature, color, humor, and childhood curiosity. Her work with Gogimogi led to her first illustrated children’s book, Gogi & Mogi Go to the Garden, published in 2017. Written and illustrated by Golareh, the book follows two young characters as they explore the natural world in search of creative inspiration, combining imaginative storytelling, colorful imagery, and playful scientific discovery.
In 2019, she established The Healing Salon, a meditation and awareness platform combining contemplative practices, neuroscience, and creative exploration.
Alongside her established artistic practice, Golareh has been exploring the creative possibilities of artificial intelligence since 2020. An early adopter of emerging generative technologies, she is fascinated by the evolving relationship between human and machine intelligence. Her AI-assisted film, The Phoenix of Iridia, is one expression of this exploration, combining her experience in filmmaking and visual storytelling with emerging creative tools. Drawing upon her original ideas, imagery, and compositions, she approaches AI as an extension of her own imagination and artistic voice, exploring how this collaboration can expand and evolve her creative expression across mediums.
Within MindTripz, her collaborative music and art project with Robyn Safarian, Golareh draws upon her experience across visual art, filmmaking, editing, and production to develop original compositions with a cinematic sensibility. Working through layering, arrangement, and experimentation, her music incorporates electronic textures, unconventional instrumentation, and expressive vocals, guided by the narrative and emotional character of each work rather than a fixed genre.

Robyn Safarian
Read biography
Robyn Safarian is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and author whose creative work bridges visual art, sound, and mindfulness. An Iranian-Canadian who has trained as a physician and exercise therapy specialist, Robyn brings a deeply holistic perspective to her artistic practice, always exploring how color, geometry, and sound shape human emotion and inner stillness.
Across both visual and sonic mediums, Safarian’s work is driven by atmosphere, texture, and shifting emotional resonance. In 2020, she expanded her multidisciplinary reach with Spotlight 2020, an immersive virtual experience pairing her digital artworks with original music compositions.
Robyn’s studio work ranges from bold geometric, highly abstract pieces with nods to her Iranian roots. She is also a keen illustrator of minimalist Zen pieces that tell stories of everyday life.
Her deeply personal soundscapes are intentionally meditative with an uplifting purpose. Across all her media, her goal remains the same: to create reflective spaces that invite listeners and viewers to slow down, reconnect, and experience art from the inside out.
Alongside her music and fine art practice, Safarian is also the author of the Journal of Possibilities, a guided mindfulness journal and planner to boost mental focus, creative exploration, and emotional well-being.
Safarian writes and illustrates colorful picture books designed for early-childhood learners. She blends her background as a physician and exercise therapist to craft stories that engage her readers through bright artwork and simple rhythmic language.
Robyn Safarian is a long-time resident of Richmond Hill, a vibrant community in the northern parts of the Greater Toronto Area.
