## About Large-Scale Installations & Murals

"Sanketana" at Orion Mall is 25 ft long, about 7.6 m. Remote controls, LAN cable and SMPS exhaust fans form part of its electronic textures and message about responsible technology use.

#### Sanketana at Brigade Gateway
I made "Sanketana" with Brigade Group for Orion Mall, Brigade Gateway, Rajajinagar, Bengaluru. It was unveiled for World Environment Day 2024. Zolopik supplied e-waste through a two-month collection drive at the mall and provided warehouse access in Whitefield.

I led the project and called for volunteers. The gallery includes warehouse work and the initial team alongside the finished mural.

#### A tree from phones
"The Nest" in Mumbai uses thousands of discarded keypad phones. I chose the keypad texture and used network cables in the work. Its message is "Disconnect to Reconnect".

Design studies, close-up graphics and recruitment films sit alongside the finished installations here. They show planning and expression, not additional completed commissions or an achieved world record.

## About Vishwanath Mallabadi

I’m Vishwanath. I look at the shapes inside old gadgets and see how they can become something larger. My installations ask people to pause and rethink their consumption.
