Āyāhi () is an experiential art atelier based in Puducherry, creating multi-sensorial works that weave together light, sound, movement, and data. From immersive AV performances to generative art and interactive installations, they use technology as a creative tool to explore conceptual and abstract narratives.

Founded by Mrityunjay (music/creative art) and Vinay (technology/digital art), Āyāhi brings these two practices into one shared language — building bespoke audiovisual worlds that sit at the intersection of art, research, and new media.

At Slingshot Mumbai, expect a fully immersive convergence of sound, visuals, and system-driven storytelling.

Playing Sunday at 4:30 on the BLACKBOX. Be there or be square! 😎

RESONA is an interactive sound installation featuring artists working critically with art, code, and AI in Mumbai. Open to all Slingshot festival attendees, the installation features the collaboration of 4 generative artists, 6 musicians, and festival guests for an intimate sound installation curated to showcase innovative artists from India working critically with art and technology. Festival guests act as the third collaborator, engaging with the piece through walking, meditation, and touch.

Join three of the four generative artists, Jasan Waldura, Dennis Fabian Peter, and Vinay Khare as they discuss their practices with Danica Newell from . The artists will share how they created evolving visual compositions for this unique environment. You will learn about their use of Touch Designer and creative code, how they blend visuals with sound in their interactive works, and what is most meaningful to them in their individual practices and collaborative works. This workshop is also open to all Slingshot attendees.

Just show up and be ready to learn!

Slingshot MUMBAI welcomes Goa-based sound artist and composer Echologue, whose live sets operate as controlled disruption. Field recordings mosh with industrial textures. Analog hardware fractures into digital abstraction. The familiar turns alien.

Grounded in musique concrète and active listening, his work demands attention and shared presence.

Lean in. Lock in. Join us in Mumbai!
