I design art that invites you to touch, explore, and play. My work breaks away from the view-from-afar culture, using technology and unexpected materials to create multisensory experiences that spark joy.

- [Video: This is my first sound installation, created from old vinyls, CDs, and cassette tapes. By touching different parts of the collage, you can trigger sounds, turning a wall of nostalgia into an interactive instrument. It’s an exploration of how we can play with the memories embedded in old media.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/31130ac5-be53-4a1c-8c6f-3f6b3a9ab704)

Without the red lens, you see the Joker's familiar face, but looking through it reveals the man underneath, a commentary on mental health and the masks we wear.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9222ab26-42bf-4824-bae1-6e60a15966f2)

- [Video: This 'Bioluminescence' installation is a celebration of human connection. It uses simple technology to translate physical touch into light, creating a shared experience of joy and wonder. Seeing people light up as they connect is the most rewarding part of creating this piece.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0197e668-651e-48cb-9351-4568af798f81)
- [Video: This interactive coloring book mural was designed to help adults reconnect with their inner child. In a world that tells us not to draw on walls, this piece gives everyone permission to be creative, playful, and a little bit messy.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0e64750e-57e1-433f-b8e3-cc4d87069526)
- [Video: This installation celebrates Indian artisans and the principle of circular living. I used scrap materials like old cycle rims, fabric, and cassette tapes to create these spinning wheels of color. When they turn, the individual scraps blend into a vibrant, unified whole.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9ddcc41e-eb70-485f-b365-46428cb93271)
- [Video: My art has traveled to Brazil! This interactive murmuration piece was created for an international exhibition. Each bird has a magnet, allowing people to move them across the canvas, creating their own flock formation and becoming part of the artwork itself.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f5147f1a-6cd1-4ad1-9ee0-1db6a48602ab)

## About Interactive & Playful Installations

My installations often use hidden layers to tell a story, such as my 'Hidden in Plain Sight' piece which uses red-lens glasses to reveal a completely different image underneath. This forces a physical interaction, changing how we perceive masks and mental health. This is not just about looking at a painting; it is about engaging with the medium to uncover the truth I have layered within. You can expect custom fabrication that goes beyond simple paint, integrating sensors or optical illusions that make your space react to your presence.

Whether you run a cafe, a school, or want something unique for your home, my work focuses on turning walls or empty corners into active participants. I specialize in sensor-based art setups, optical illusions, and sound-triggered collages made from items like old cassette tapes, vinyl records, or coffee waste.

When we start, we look at your space's specific vibe. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all designs. We brainstorm the interaction logic, build the necessary hardware—like MDF backing, touch sensors, or custom lenses—and handle the full on-site assembly.

Sustainability is at the core. I believe we have enough waste on this planet without me adding to it. If we can use old bicycle rims or electronic scrap to tell a story about community, I will. This often leads to projects that are not just art, but conversations—like the interactive murals where kids and adults alike learn to break the rule of not touching artwork.

Pricing depends on the complexity of the mechanics. A simple interactive mural starts at a different scale than a sensor-triggered light installation. All my installations include the necessary interaction guidance, such as plaques or digital explanations, so your guests feel empowered to touch and play from day one. I love the messy, hands-on process of figuring out the engineering, so expect me to be deeply involved from the circuit board to the final varnish coat.

## About Madhuri Umashankar

Hi, I am Madhuri. I am a self-taught artist who hates 'do not touch' signs, so I build art you can actually play with. I love turning discarded things like old vinyls and scrap metal into experiences that get people talking, touching, and laughing.
