Last August, ICHIM 2004, a congress on digital culture
and heritage was held in Berlin. Digital artists, architects,
researchers, computer scientists and designers displayed
their work on the subject of presenting art and culture
using digital technology. One of the most interesting
presentations came from the Sacred World Foundation
from New Delhi, India. The use of hands in traditional
art and craft in India, as well as the symbolism of
Indian culture and Mahatma Gandhi's central ideas and
values are the subjects of the latest works of the The
Gandhi Multimedia Museum foundation. The museum demonstrates
an impressive extent of research and also respect of
Indian tradition and thought. Tradition is meaning and
simultaneously art, symbolism. The Sacred World Foundation
gives us a new approach on how to present tradition
and art using the newest forms of technology. Artfacts.Net
interviewed Ranjit Makkuni, director of Sacred World
Foundation.
