Bangalore-based artist
Pratyush Raman is currently on a residency with
Lacuna Lab, Berlin, as part of our
bangaloREsidency-Expanded initiative. And is participating in an exhibition
A Vital Piece of Information – Fragments of a Greater Context that brings together two
contemporary artistic positions from
India and
Pakistan, intersecting in their inquiry on information, technology, humans and time. Their specific topics of interest, methods, and perspectives are fundamentally different, yet they are united in their wish to reveal a hidden truth that constitutes our present.
By investigating relations between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human consumption patterns related to YouTube, Pratyush Raman plays with the narrative of users engaging in consumption and becoming a part of the production, aiming to raise awareness and to reflect on it.
Noor us Sabah Saeed from Pakistan takes us to the Indus river, where she is looking into its current threats from climate change. Additionally, she investigates archaeological technologies to find out reasons for the disappearance of Sarasvati river and the Harappan civilisation, in an effort to speculate further and retell the story of the Indus in a different manner.
As a relevant fragment in itself, both artistic positions refer to the greater and more complex context that constructs our past, present and future.
