The Hindu
Art and tech, design and music, performances and workshops, come together as The Sixth Sense, a multi-disciplinary immersive festival, debuts in Bengaluru this week
Art and technology may seem like opposites, but when they come together, they create a space where magic happens, says Lalindra Amarasekara, technical director, The Sixth Sense.
“Combining art and technology has always been experimental and explorative. We have created a platform where we bring together the diversity of both these elements,” says Lalindra.
Taking place at Alembic City over a span of 18 days, The Sixth Sense is an immersive festival that aims to blend art, music, technology and nature, in an attempt to reconnect humans with the natural world. Conceptualised by Swordfish, the minds behind Echoes of Earth, The Sixth Sensewill allow visitors to experience “large-scale digital installations, spatial sound performances, interactive environments, and participatory workshops”.
The workshops will be held in collaboration with The NODE Institute from Germany who will present TouchDesigner sessions, an initiative that will see creative coders, digital artists and experience designers from around the world, work and learn together.
According to Roshan Netalkar, founder-director of Echoes of Earth and Swordfish, “a festival of this kind brings the essence of nature in a digitised and immersive manner, with new media as a canvas.”
