This exhibition is the first of many under the aegis of Mumbai Light Festival: Satellite. MLF Satellites are intimate, limited-capacity events meant to provide a glimpse of that magical space that lies at the intersection of art and technology. Each edition will focus on an artist or collective that's pushing the boundaries when it comes to light as a medium.
More about the installation:
ROW is a holographic installation that was born out of an attempt to use technology and create an immersive audiovisual experience.
In general terms, a ‘row’ is a basic way to structure data - from mathematics to twelve notes of the chromatic scale in music. Taking off from there, this installation - composed of a modular and scalable array of screens - takes the shape of a canvas which is constantly shifting in length and shape. Translating raw visuals driven by generative sound, the content is echoed on this canvas with a slight delay, thus creating various moving patterns that highlight and reflect the spatial characteristics of the space where it is installed.
Apart from enthralling viewers worldwide, ROW has also won 2 international awards: Jury Selection at 24th Japan Media Arts Festival and Individual Award in "Light Installation" category of CITIC Press Lightening Selection (China).

About the Artist:
TUNDRA is a multidisciplinary new-media artist collective from Europe that specialises in creating multisensory spatial experiences by exploring facets of interaction between light, sound, space and human perception.
It started in 2013 as a collaboration between visual artists and electronic music producers to explore synesthetic facets of human audiovisual perception by using new emerging technologies and examining their significance through the lens of creativity. They blend sound, visual, space, technology and use it as a tool to interact with rapidly-changing environmental contexts.
TUNDRA’s artworks have been exhibited at museums, galleries and festivals of multi-media art in America, Great Britain, Europe, Australia and Asia.

About Mumbai Light Festival (MLF) and MLF Satellite:
Mumbai Light Festival (MLF) has been envisioned as a one-of-its-kind celebration of lights that becomes a fixture in Mumbai’s cultural calendar. A platform for artists from India and abroad who are doing path breaking work with light as a medium, MLF’s goal is to establish itself as a public arts festival that is global in ambition, scale and execution. The first edition of MLF is scheduled for 2023.
MLF Satellites are intimate, limited-capacity events that are meant to provide a glimpse of that magical space that lies at the intersection of art and technology. Starting September 2022, MLF Satellite will be hosting solo shows by artists who are pushing boundaries when it comes to light as a medium. The idea is to give people a taste of the possibilities of light as a medium for art and build excitement for the main event.
