Squishing it into the Slimy Depths of the Tethys Sea

Some of you may have shared my incomplete comprehension of the precise form the MediaWala Festival will take. That's because, I now realise, we put the horse before the carts. And we are the horses.

MediaWalon Ka Rathotsav (The MediaWala Cart Festival) is a performative installation of diverse forms of media on a set of self propelled carts adorned with sound, light, food, energy, comms, and information. Artists and designers from around the world will be involved in constructing, installing and performing upon these carts.

The carts:

Quicksand presents in technicolor... by Quicksand (India)
Apsara VJ Thela by Mo Ling Chui (Canada/ China)
