Abhishek Narula

Abhishek is a hardware junkie, an avid DIY’er and an open source advocate. He received his MS and BS in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His idea of meditation is soldering LEDs for hours on end. He prefers the term ‘Hacker’ over ‘Maker’. Abhishek relaxes by installing Linux on old computers. He loves vintage electronics. Abhishek can be found running free electronics workshops at your local hackerspace. Abhishek also creates his own hardware and software tools which are all open sourced.

After dabbling in the world of engineering and business, Abhishek currently runs a new media art studio (ElectronStudios3). He is interested in critically examining the role of technology in contemporary society. Whether through large scale installations or intervention based projects, his art work can be seen as strategic exploration of experiences that may reveal hidden forms of subjugation created as a result of the modern networked and digital world.
