Baiju parthan’s art practice revolves around mass media and information technology. He probes how information streams alter and re-construct our perception of reality. His works range from painting to interactive installation using video data projections.

The current project is an interactive installation incorporating a video data projection that explores the theme of news feeds and is titled ‘FEED- What You See Is What You Get’. The artist is suggesting that the regular streaming of images of military activity as peace keepers and liberators through news channels into our living rooms is gradually altering our perceptions about the military. He feels that these news feeds that we consume on a daily basis ‘naturalizes’ or coerces us into accepting military presence and the associated security drills as an essential ingredient of everyday reality.
