Nandita Kumar is a new-media artist who works at the intersection art, science, technology, and community to creates interactive installations. She explores the elemental process through which human beings construct meaning from their experiences, by creating sensory narratives through the usage of sound, video / animation, and performance, smartphone apps, customized motherboards, solar / microwave sensors. Her interest lies in propelling the human race towards a sustainable development, which not only focuses on environmental protection but also on social development. Her process envisions a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use continue to meet human needs without undermining the "integrity, stability and beauty" of natural biotic systems.
