TEDxYouth@Masala will feature a combined collaborative piece, titled PLAY – with live visuals by Dhanya Pilo (VJ Decoy) supported by live music/coding by SeeMOS (Soumitra Bhat)’.
The act of Play is something they feel young people are giving up too early in this zeitgeist – by growing up so fast! As a reminder to youth to take part in and to be a sport in not just work/education but to things happening around them. To challenge boundaries and constraints and strive to create luminal spaces full of un-ending possibilities.
Dhanya and Soumitra will share an 18 min audio visual jugal bandi with the audience showcasing how much a live visual artist/performer can interpret the music that is being played as well as how much “play” is possible within the range of particular set of tools/ gadgets for a complete aural+visual experience.”
