Music is another way I express the same mission as my art: use technology wisely and value what lasts. #### Art, technology and nature "Disconnect to Reconnect" is the message behind "The Nest", my tree installation made from discarded keypad mobiles. I want people to look beyond their phones and experience nature. "Arivininda kriyege" means from awareness to action. My Hindi and Kannada musical videos carry this message too. "Where Does E-waste Go?" returns to repair, recycle and rethink. Some films use scripted or synthetic narration. They are expressions of the mission, not independent accounts of my biography. My own spoken explanations are the clearest guide to how I talk about the work. ## About Vishwanath Mallabadi I’m Vishwanath. Music and poetry are part of my creative life. I use them, along with art, to ask people to see waste differently.
