Gor Margaryan is a filmmaker and media artist whose artistic and scientific research focuses on the ethical dimension of war films in virtual reality (VR). He explores the possibilities and development of VR as an innovative cinematic medium and examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the creative process. Margaryan's work has been characterized for several years by his active participation at the intersection of science and art. For example, he developed his essay film "Hydrography" (2017) in cooperation with the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research. His film "Phantom Flight" (2022), which also deals with the problem of representing war, was awarded the predicate "particularly valuable" by the German Film and Media Evaluation Board.

In the summer semester of 2024, Margaryan will represent the professorship for "Film/Time based Media" at the Center for Media at the Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel.
