Detailed Description

When we talk about interactive media, we are often referring to the digital world, but interactions aren't just limited to the digital platform, especially when the digital world has fully immersed itself in the physical realm. We have often come across interactive touch button options present in paper magazine advertisements, physical informative or artistic panels cropping up in front of any landmark, and 3D content which is physically rendered so that users can interact with digital information in a tangible manner. This medium of interaction, which people are now labelling as 'phygital', is ever more apparent. For this project, I am using the same medium to tell a story that can impact people and be a takeaway as well. We are primarily narrative beings, and we like telling stories. For centuries we have relied on storytelling mediums to convey expressions and feelings or to propagate the history to the masses. One such medium of storytelling is the dance. Indian epics have been passed on to the generations through stories told by dances, so much so that these stories depict God's creation of the world as a dance with Lord Shiva being the performer himself.
