Hi, I’m Shankar!

I'm a sculptor and computational artist. I am particularly interested in using these processes to explore themes of perception, embodiment, and digital-analogue hybrid scenes; along the way discovering what non-human systems can reveal about the human condition.

I am also a regular performer at Wavetable and beyond, where I create live coded visuals to compliment experimental electronic music!
