| FOREWORD
It is my great pleasure to introduce and present to the art
lovers of Mumbai the avant-garde expression "Eternal
Gandhi", a Multimedia Exhibition that is a synthesis
of art encompassing the perennial wisdom of Gandhi Ji utilizing
new media as an art form. The multi layer works sparkle in
diverse dimensions evoking different views and enveloping
modern art form, technology, craft, cultural documentation
with visions of development as a creative interpretation.
The project has been fully supported by the Aditya Birla Group.
The exhibition has been conceptualized by Ranjit Makkuni and
his team at the Sacred World Research Laboratory and has accomplished
several important projects of similar nature in the past.
To me it is like reinterpreting the universal concerns of
Gandhi Ji as an icon utilizing the potential of new media
technologies in a creative and interactive format. This would
open new avenues of interactive dissemination and installation
practices in a unique fashion. I am sure that this exhibition
would prove to be an imagination starter to spark of new vision
and creativity for the future generations.
