Samyukta Madhu is a visual artist living between Berlin and India.
Originally from Chennai, she studied design & technology at Parsons School of Design, New York City.
She works with 3D programs to create artworks inspired by feminism, futurism, and South Asian culture. Reinterpreting traditional and ancient symbols, she presents South Asian culture in an alternative, progressive and almost taboo way.
She presents immersive installations where the audience is invited to surround themselves with the artworks. She utilizes large scale LED screens, projections and light panels for these installations.
Collaborators include L’Oreal, Les Rencontres d’Arles, Fisheye Immersive, Chennai Photo Biennale, Nxt Museum, W Hotels, ADE, ASUS, Adidas & more.
