Hands-on upcycling masterclasses and interactive seminars for design, architecture, and engineering students. Transform discarded electronics into meaningful, sustainable art.

At the Unitedworld Institute of Design (UID), GD Goenka University, I led a four-day workshop called 'LOOP.ed' for International E-waste Day. I worked with 150 students from fashion, architecture, and product design to generate ideas and create art installations from e-waste.

A look into my three-day Eco Art workshop with Liberal Arts students at Christ University. We collaboratively created a mesmerizing mural representing the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals using repurposed e-waste, turning abstract concepts into a tangible, visually appealing design.

As a faculty member at Chanakya University, I mentor students in Sustainable Upcycling Art Creation. My focus is to share my decade of research, empowering them to apply this knowledge in creating remarkable art installations and shaping a more sustainable future.

Here are some behind-the-scenes moments from my five-day "Eco-Chic" workshop at Pearl Academy, Bangalore. I worked with fashion students to channel their creativity into sustainable fashion, crafting wearable art and jewelry from e-waste.

I'm Vishwanath, and for two decades, I’ve been obsessed with finding the stories inside discarded gadgets. I’m an engineer who turned artist, and my favorite thing to do is get students to stop looking at trash as junk and start seeing it as a raw material for something beautiful.
