This blog is a self-initiated investigation into India, art & technology in the Indian context. It will hopefully examine as authentically as possible, what and where popular indian art has come from and where it might be going. and primarily what represents it. It will look at what kinds of articulation of the Indian context exists and what is the content and authenticity of it. It will especially try to look for what has been lost/why and what is being lost and what are the goings-on that trigger these effects. also, at the same time, it will look at what the nature of emerging technologies are, what they are, what are their effects on society and what can they do for the indian context. also how can these technologies have hidden applications that can help map the diversity that is india and help the indian urban person deal with the oppressive parts of the indian city/public space.

urban india is undergoing so much change and so fast that it is difficult to take a breather and think about what is happening. we are inside it and it is all around us. we have no idea why we are behaving or changing the way we are and what is driving these changes, what collective histories/energies are at work here. we are disconnected with our primitive psyche. what has three hundred years of colonization done to us, to out eco-systems. we have to look at the parts and the whole to really know the picture or at least almost know it. it is the time to recognize the changes and who we were (our parents,their parents) and who we have become/are becoming and who we may be and we could accept that to end the great western deluge. and I, as an almost artist and an almost filmmaker and an almost indian think this should start happening in the public sphere/public spaces. So here I am, starting the raw articulations on this blog and i hope and assure that i shall be immensely interested in any sort of feedback even if it is seemingly unrelated or totally critiquing my approach and efforts.
{It is the final project of a filmmaker/indian student with a displaced identity who is hoping to discover a better articulated cultural ground or come to terms with the lack of the same. }
