Abhishek Narula is an interdisciplinary artist who explores themes of complex systems, interaction, and the enigmatic nature of objects. Through sculptures, installations, performances, and interventions, Narula creates contradictions and paradoxes that reveal the often overlooked and invisible aspects of life. His work frequently incorporates kinetic and robotic mechanisms, as well as interactive technologies, using subtlety and humor to craft poetic disruptions that heighten sensitivity to the everyday.
Narula is also a member of Wetware Instruments, a performance duo where he creates works at the intersection of sound art, performance, chemistry, biology, and digital technology.
Born in New Delhi, India, and currently residing in Ypsilanti, MI, his work has been exhibited at various national and international venues, galleries, and festivals, including Science Gallery Detroit, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia, New Media Caucus (NMC), Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, The Boulder Public Library, The Boulder Creative Collective Warehouse, The Hyde Park Art Center, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI), International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA), and Infosys Pathfinders Institute.
