Samm Zuest Cooper

Creative engineer, working from concept to photons.

I design and build bespoke systems for art installations and creative projects, spanning software, electronics, and physical space. I'm based in Vancouver, BC, and I've been programming long enough to be suspicious of both novelty and orthodoxy, and to know when restraint matters.

Light, sound, motion, and interaction are my primary artistic media. Much of my work lives in custom electronics, embedded systems, and the software that coordinates them, more interested in how something acts than how it announces itself.

I'm drawn to work that reveals itself slowly, where small technical decisions shape how a space feels and behaves. I care about moments at the edge of perception, where form and behaviour do the talking, those moments when technology reverts to magic.

Interested in building something together?
I’m available for collaborations, commissions, and longer-term projects.
