"My residency has been seminal in rethinking the interplay of body and technology through both performative and plastic art practices. Working between various  technology labs and the city's rich artisanal community, my residency has been very fertile, thinking through and working with technologies and technologists both new and old; from embroidery to embedded circuits; clay pottery to concrete poetry, wood carving and 3D printing; fragrances, sonorous metal bells and gears to silent clockwork mechanisms. With one eye on dance and another on mechanics, all these crafting processes come together in the making of a sculpture that embodies both the art and science of motion, to tell cyclical stories of times past and of those yet to come." - Kiran Kumar
