I conceive and curate exhibitions and multimedia projects. Interventions that prompt reflection are a delight to me. I particularly enjoy unraveling what hides in plain sight. My training in architecture, design, and writing comes through in all my work. The projects below are my most memorable collaborations with fellow creatives and cultural organizations. ~ Prachi https://prachikhandekar.com/Sublime-Substrate Fri, 16 Jul 2021 13:55:37 +0000 Prachi Khandekar | Curation & Design https://prachikhandekar.com/Sublime-Substrate CIRCUITS OF SAND & WATER + A transmedia experience about what it’s like to be human in an era where algorithms construct desires; the machine gaze parses through our actions; and privacy is diminished in service of data-driven utopias.The digital prototype is an experimental film from the vantage point of CCTV cameras in public spaces. Windows become metaphors for privacy, while an unseen narrator speaks of the tacit wagers we make with our data everyday. The theatrical prototype presents an embodied experience of dwindling privacy by placing the audience in a smart home. The narrative is delivered through domestic objects and highlights the tussle between animal instincts and digital impulses in intimate settings. *Developed with support from Canada Council for the Arts and CALQ. https://prachikhandekar.com/Flight-Mode Tue, 03 Apr 2018 20:18:48 +0000 Prachi Khandekar | Curation & Design https://prachikhandekar.com/Flight-Mode FLIGHT MODE+ An exhibition about the erosion of solitude from contemporary culture.
