E-Mauj Masti Egg |
 |
| The E-egg is a multidimensional cultural artifact. Its form is derived from the form of Brahmanda, or the cosmic egg described in the Vedas as well as in the form of the universe described by modern physicists. The egg is also the form naturally created when the hands assume a cupped position. In contrast to rectilinear, inorganic objects characteristic of computer delivery devices, the e-egg responds to the mythical dimensions as well as the physical dimensions of the body. |
 |
| Engravings on the e-egg demarcatezones of Mauj Masti in Banaras, and touching them allows people to play back images of happiness and relaxation in the streets of Banaras. The engravings create a rich textural space, and one can recognize the diverse streets of Banaras by rubbing the hands on the e-egg with one’s eyes closed. The e-egg with one’s eyes closed. The e-egg forces designers to explore texture as a useful, haptic in communicating “state” changes. |
