Project Manager
Hi, my name is Aridaman Singh Matharu a.k.a. Addy. I explore intersections of technology, design, and human interaction through immersive works using TouchDesigner, where input by the viewer alters algorithmic systems. Photography, videography, and branding extend these into narratives. Interrogating analog/digital boundaries and agency/automation, my practice provokes reflection on technology’s role in perception, bridging technical rigor with aesthetic innovation to redefine participatory art in digitally mediated spaces.

Experience
1 / Everything and Then Some
Fina Gallery Installation for the project Echoes Of Light: In ‘Echoes of Light’, movement becomes code: a hand wave paints light, a step triggers sound and stillness births silence. With the help of LiDAR and TouchDesigner, I explored if machines can grasp human fineness, and whether the machine is creating the art or the observer. The installation, dubbed by me as ‘meditation on presence’, treats technology as a partner. Participants co-created fleeting stories, asking, “Who controls digital spaces?” In the installation, technology revealed its truth through the transient dance of humans in the new world of interactive art.
