Born in Kerala in 1956, Baiju Parthan studied Painting from 1978-83 at the art school in Goa and he has a Master’s degree in Comparative Mythology at Bombay University. Baiju Parthan’s art practice revolves around information technology and its impact on perception and meaning generation. His art explores how information streams alter our perception of reality and how new categories of experience clubbed under the generic term ‘virtual’ reshape our cherished ideas about the world. Technology in his work is primarily used as an interactive space, where each node is a choice that branches out into an exploration of fluid boundaries of meaning that suggests the ever present local within the global, and the human cogency. The mediums of his works are a commingling of his training in various fields making paintings, digital images, installations, as well as backlit display boxes.
