Samir Bhowmik

 

Samir Bhowmik's multi-disciplinary art and research practice deals with contemporary issues in Media, Memory and the Environment. His work examines the architectural, infrastructural and energetic entanglements of Cultural Memory. His latest infrastructural performance art project ‘Memory Machines’ opened at the Helsinki Central Library in January 2019, as part of the Library’s Other Intelligences project organised by the Finnish Cultural Institute of New York.

In the 'Circuit Breaker' project, he worked together with Krisjanis Rijnieks, a creative technologist and designer specializing in creative coding, projection mapping, positional tracking and digital fabrication. Rijnieks has been working with digital interactive media since Macromedia Flash 4 was released in 1999. Currently, they work as a workshop master and Fab Academy instructor at the Aalto Fablab in Aalto University, Espoo, Finland. In the future, they plan to focus on research related (but not limited) to projection mapping, positional tracking, digital fabrication and open source. See more here.
