There’s a specific kind of nervousness when you ship any installation. You’ve tested it, sure, but you haven’t tested under real conditions, with strangers watching.
The studio forgives. The site doesn’t.
Nine months. Three months of stress testing. Shipped today.
Final leg coming soon.
I was watching a YouTube vlogger and found myself wondering, why are we all sharing so much personal information about ourselves? How did personal expression become so deeply tied to monetisation, data, and AI systems? And why do I still feel resistant to sharing too much of myself online?
That question became the starting point of this essay.
I wrote this article to trace how everyday acts of sharing slowly became part of systems of measurement, prediction and training.
Perhaps I’m also trying to understand what it means to keep something for oneself in a time when visibility is constantly encouraged and repurposed.
What if the question is not just what we share, but what we lose when sharing becomes infrastructure?

In Darkness, We Meet is a light-based installation that tells the story of two lovers fated to meet only in shadow. As the lights shift, they cast shadows that merge, part, and reshape, echoing intimacy, distance, and return.
Through light, shadow, and movement, the installation invites viewers to witness a relationship that is always in motion, always becoming, never still.

In a world filled with data & charts, how can we leverage metaphors & materials to invite, engage and inspire?
“From Figures to Form” is an exhibition that translates public data (like indicators for Sustainable Development Goals) into tactile data sculptures that you can experience in space, not screens.
These data sculptures invite you to observe details, uncover insights & spark conversations that are often missed when viewing traditional charts.
On exhibition:
📆 24th Dec, 2025 – 4th Jan, 2026
📍 Conference Room (2nd floor), @scigalleryblr
💁 Guided walkthroughs on 3rd & 4th Jan, 2026, 6:30PM
These projects were created by @information_design_nid students from @nid_blr , as part of the Tangible Visualization module led by @rasagy.sharma & @debanshub .
Featuring projects by @im.__ash__ , Pratyush, @_neharikaa__ , @___o_i_n___ , @adiithee , @the_clumsy_strokes , @aastha.gangwar .

Highlights from ‘Exploring Data Sculptures’ - turning Numbers into Objects
Facilitated by @debanshub
Hosted @1377.co.in
This hands-on workshop invited participants to move beyond graphs and charts, transforming data into tactile, sculptural forms. Through textures, materials, and m making, we explored how information can shape stories you can feel.
Big thanks to everyone who joined in!

The notion of Data is fleeting, intangible and immaterial - something that shimmers out of reach. We engage with it as abstractions - graphs, numbers and pixels. What if data could be touched, held, or sculpted?
Join us to explore Data Sculptures — a hands-on workshop where numbers transform into textures, stories, and form.
An interest in data or experience with data visualization is welcome but not required.
