DIGITAL MUDRA EXTENDED

DIGITAL MUDRA EXTENDED investigates the relationships between the expressive hand gestures employed by public and political personalities, and those of Indian Kathakali dancers. In this artwork, I am revisiting an idea I first explored in an installation that I created at the Kala Institute in 1987 wherein I projected slides featuring then-current political and cultural figures culled from topical news photos. These photos showed hand gestures that I juxtaposed with their Mudra counterparts. In this new work, I feel that I have captured a reflection of what is going on in the world today–as I correlate the Mudras with gestures deployed by technology nerds, global political figures, scions of industry, masters of banking, activists and attorneys, media moguls, and others.
