Currently at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), NYU, New York.

I graduated in Communication Design from Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology located in Bangalore, India in 2004. I intend to pursue a creative practice where I would like to understand and deploy sociable media and context driven communication platforms. I am particularly inspired by the open source software movement and would like to combine some of its ethics into my creative practice. I dislike categorising my practice as either being Art or Design and prefer to simply call it creative practice. To me design and art is a way of thinking rather than doing.

My recent most exhibited work is titled ‘The Lowlands’ project, which explores alternative mapping practices in order to elicit unspoken and unseen territories in my sub-urban neighborhood of Bangalore. The Lowlands Project was exhibited at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz in September 2005.
