INDERNET

Exhibition

The Internet can connect and divide, emancipate and polarise causing both good and irreversible bad. It is contradictory, exponentially growing, cross-cultural and an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

In the form of an annual art event INDERNET explores the parallels and interaction between digital and Indian culture.

INDERNET features Indian inspired creatives who use the internet as an instrument and a stage balancing on the narrow level between inflation and innovation, commercialisation and self-fulfillment, technology and spirituality, nationality and identity. This year’s selection of participants is an international and interdisciplinary mix of artists, including designers, filmmakers, illustrators, writers, dancers and musicians.
