ABOUT THE INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION AT GOETHE-ZENTRUM :
Her interactive installations are based on the visitor which is located in the center of the work. Immersed in the visual and sonorous material, his presence is captured by a camera and generating a transformation of the crossed universe, getting the shape of a pictorial and musical action, immediately perceptible.
It’s a world perpetually changing that is being opened: the body of the painting that leaves the walls, the body of the visitor travelling into the pictorial space and meeting the visual and sonorous space in a movement of continuous transformation.
Layer by layer, the visitor's body reveals and becomes the sensitive space of the work being created.

| Dinosaur fossil on display at the Birla Museum, Hyderabad. |
Dinosaurs are giant reptiles with significant anatomical and physiological differences from the present day reptiles that lived in Mesozoic period and extinct at the end of Cretaceous. The life and extinction of the dinosaurs is surrounded by mysteries and interesting facts. The remains of dinosaurs are found as fossil record in the Mesozoic sediments all over the world, including India. The Indian dinosaurs are poorly studied compared to the Chinese and American counterpart s. The on-going research is revealing unexpected angles of their life habits etc. The birds are now considers to be the survivors of dinosaurs and possibly dinosaurs can be recreated by genetic engineering. The extinction of the dinosaurs is an equally enigmatic phenomenon, so far not explained satisfactorily. Humans have to learn much from the origin and extinction of the dinosaurs.
