New instruments with embedded computation demonstrate interactions through gesture, touch, pull, movement, gaze and kinesthetic action. In addition, through responsive computing, people by their position, gesture, and movements control musical events in the exhibition environment.  Taken in total, the ideas presented present a vision for the design of society centered on Innovation, Well Being and Compassion.

CHALLENGE:
-To show the connection between the form of the Goddess and Music. -To show a diverse panorama of Asian instruments, and achieve sufficient enough of cultural compression to re evoke the whole. -To subtly embed technology augmentation in sensing and interaction so as not to over power the traditional instruments.

NAME:
Ranjit Makkuni and Sacred World Research Laboratory

PROFILE:
Ranjit Makkuni is an international multimedia artist and designer, the director of the design think tank, the Sacred World Research Laboratory. His multidimensional, multimedia museum works are intersections between traditional and modern art, design and technology, such that the results help both traditional and modern cultures. They are intended to show that the wisdom of traditional communities can positively negate the homogenizing influences of modern technology; and that the intelligence, creativity and sense of freedom afforded by modern design and technology can reciprocally help traditional artists. His major works are several museum projects: Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum, Planet Health Museum, The Goddess and Temples of Music, and The Crossing: Living, Dying and Transformation in Banaras. www.sacredworld.info www.ranjitmakkuni.com
