The
Carnival of e-Creativity
& Change-agents Conclave (CeC & (CaC) Here is Shankar's mission statement regarding CeC & CaC. CeC & CaC (pronounced "Sek & Sak") is an organization created to collectively seek out, manifest, learn from, connect with and enjoy a studied broad canvas of cutting-edge electronic content and participation from India and the world, addressing the Creative Empowerment of Individuals by the burgeoning spread of Technology across multiple streams of human endeavor in the world. With various component parts to it, CeC & CaC is a public incident played out across several congruent venues through a yearly conference (congress?), in New Delhi, India. The incident proceeds in a continuum subject to evolutionary flux, but sets out in each iteration, which belong eventually to its participants, some of whom then actually co-curate later iterations. CeC & CaC tries to address the opportunity that new tools of the day present for us to help close the innovation-gap in countries such as India, and the same time, bring the world's artistic community together to provide the impetus to this effort. It is meant to be in service of the Good Earth and the General Public, including Institutions, Corporations, Governments and also the larger Global Community of eCreative Practitioners themselves, across all streams of activity.Whereas CeC & CaC has been developed and driven primarily by The Academy of Electronic Arts, it has so far been co-organized, co-presented and also hosted by India International Centre. |
Shankar was also in a show at our municipal building in East Brunswick in a timely way. His piece shows a golden lizard. Once a year our road department blocks off a country road so our local lizards can cross the road to a pond, safely and lay their eggs! |
