Upcycling Art, My Process and Creative Experiments
Kabadi bazaar is my playground. I look for stories, rhythm and another life inside old gadgets.
I share workbench and exhibition moments in this collaboration film, moving from assembling components to showing the finished forms.
In this video, I introduce myself and explain my process of upcycling e-waste into captivating art. I believe this is an alternative to recycling that contributes to a sustainable environment and helps heal our planet.
I sat down for an interview at the WSA Global Congress to discuss my process. I explain how my fascination with the textures and shapes inside gadgets, combined with my father's artistic legacy, led me to create art from e-waste.
I am passionate about working with e-waste because I see beauty where others see trash. This video explains my goal to honor old gadgets, celebrate their history, and inspire everyone to see the magic in reusing and repurposing.
This video explains my mission to redefine our relationship with technology. I urge a minimalist approach, where gadgets are tools, not trophies, and encourage the younger generation to choose sustainability over mindless consumerism.
I explain my vision for a greener future and describe about two decades of transforming e-waste into art, rather than thirty years of this practice.
My journey is about contributing to a cleaner planet and the Swachh Bharat (Clean India) initiative. This video explains how a recreational activity evolved into a mission to prevent e-waste from ending up in landfills.
This video explains that waste minimization is the need of the hour. My art is a contribution to this goal, promoting sustainable practices and advocating for a circular economy to help mitigate climate change.
A poetic video in Hindi about my mission for a sustainable future. It tells the story of my art, where the magic of e-waste and the confluence of nature and technology create a message of hope.
This musical video, with lyrics in Kannada, conveys a powerful message about technology and consumerism. Set to a reggae beat, it captures my mission to transform e-waste into art and spread conscious vibes.
About My Process & Philosophy
I dismantle gadgets and sort their components by texture, colour and form. My studio inventory gives me ideas: a wire, a cooling fan or a keyboard part can suggest an entirely different shape.
From awareness to action
"Arivininda kriyege" is the phrase behind my work. My art asks people to repair, recycle and rethink their consumption. I describe gadgets as "tools, not trophies".
Making and experimenting
DIY films show mandala composition and a whisky bottle becoming wind chimes. I also explore animated component studies and digital art films. These concepts are not all completed physical installations.
Music alongside the art
"Eco Beats", Hindi and Kannada musical videos, and my piano poems are part of how I express the mission. The art and the music keep the same conversation going: see value in what we usually discard.
