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. ## About Vishwanath Mallabadi I’m Vishwanath. I see beauty where others just see trash. I like opening a gadget and discovering what its texture or shape might become.
