About the ArtistsĪbhinav and Vinay studied New Media Design at the National Institute of Design in Gandhinagar. The sense of surprise when you discover this interactive installation will hopefully drive people to know more about this organism and the property of bio-luminescence (in some of the most beautiful and endangered creatures) that is no longer seen with the kind of wonderment it deserves. The fact that certain creatures use light signals and flashes for communication, navigation, mating, defence mechanisms as well as bait which are also visually stunning draw us to this subject. What fascinates us most about the bioluminescent phenomenon is that we have actually never seen it in reality. They will be placed and brought to life in the dark and unexposed corners of Panjim to simulate an environment where humans and the bioluminescent creatures share the same land.


Kavak Prakash is created from our imagination of those underwater bioluminescent creatures. The name is derived from the Hindi terms for fungus (Kavak) and light (Prakash). “Kavak Prakash” is a light based interactive art installation inspired by the phenomenon of bioluminescence of deep sea creatures.
