Noir Mak — Creative Technologist & Digital Artist

The Artist

Cam Mansanarez / Noir Mak

Cam Mansanarez, known artistically as Noir Mak, is a creative technologist, digital artist, and creative coder whose work explores the evolving relationship between humans and computational systems. Based in Colorado, he designs generative artworks, immersive digital experiences, and interactive installations that blend artistic expression with technical innovation. His practice spans creative coding, live-coded visual performance, browser-based experiences, and experimental AI, using software as both a creative medium and a space for dialogue.

Professionally, Cam specializes in translating emerging technologies into meaningful human experiences. Drawing from a background in customer success, product strategy, and creative technology, he approaches every project with equal attention to conceptual vision, technical execution, and user experience. Whether building a live performance system, training a custom AI model on a handmade dataset, or designing an interactive installation, his work is grounded in the belief that technology should deepen human connection rather than replace it.

Working through a queer lens, Cam investigates how identity, memory, and representation evolve alongside computational systems. Rather than treating AI as a tool for automation, he approaches it as a creative collaborator, training intentionally curated, small-scale datasets to explore authorship, consent, and the expressive possibilities of human-machine collaboration.

Cam has completed a Master's degree in Creative Technology, where his research focused on generative art, immersive media, interactive systems, and emerging technologies. His recent work includes live-coded visual performances using Hydra, browser-native generative experiences, custom-trained AI models, and computational artworks that merge code, data, poetry, and visual storytelling.

Through Noir Mak, Cam creates work that exists between gallery, laboratory, and stage. He is passionate about collaborating with studios, cultural institutions, and forward-thinking organizations to design immersive experiences that are technically ambitious, visually compelling, and deeply human.
