Where does art meet digital technology. A series, titled Art X Technology, seeks to explore this intersection and examine their common ground. The listener comes away with an understanding of applying and engaging with technology and how age-old artistic traditions can challenge perceptions and create new aesthetics, melding the scientific and the creative while creating surreal worlds and beyond reality experiences. The artists who talk in the series are some of the best in India, such as Hitesh Kumar from Splat Studios, Afrah Shafiq, Sehaj Rahal, Mithu Sen and Deepanjana Klein. The series started on September 12 with Hitesh Kumar, Creative Director of Splat Studio, and will continue until October 10.Log on to http://www.knma.in/
