Ansh Kumar
Ansh Kumar is an Artist focused on generative art, analog sculptures, and augmented reality installations. With a background in architecture, he combines his experience in space and media design to create interactive artworks. Ansh has directed his research toward a canvas that acts as a catalyst to celebrate human traces and their implications, creating canvases to interact and create. Theories of the human mind and perceptions are central to his Kinetic Sculptures, Augmented Reality experiences, and digital exhibitions. Fascinated by colour theory, motion design, cognitive psychology and research, he experiments through immersive installations combining sound, bio-sculptures and AR; the art form allows him to break away from the social and physical boundaries the mind is trapped in. Ansh has exhibited internationally at festivals and residencies, including at the Miami Art Basel, New York (Ars Electronica), Munich, Paris (CADAF), Austria, Goa, Delhi, Toronto and Tokyo. He has been associated with Snapchat, Meta, Coca-Cola, Cars24, 20th Century Fox and Adobe. Ansh, in collaboration with his brother, initiated ‘Tiny Farm Lab’ – a space for Cross-stitching Design, Art, Science, Tech Natural building, Bio-materials and Economics.
