A premise of young men and women merge together on a household platform that incorporates fascinating ideas of pushing the boundaries. A collective grows amidst the inter-developing cells where atomic refractions are often not harmonized when the route is ongoing. Yet the individual mass and movement is a ceaseless evolving so the energy level is ceremonially heightening its abilities to extract something from the public power-house. The unavoidable factors of a metropolis are a crucial sphere to focus on. Through any application of medium practised, the milieu of perception and churning steers us to front the elements of living-hood.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Functioning and developing, developing during sharing, sharing and introspecting hence create the relationship of a cohesive thinking. Our city is our jacket. We catch marks, cold or get bare when we separate. So the pages are linked to perform the spoken world and not to explain or protect the history but archiving and re stirring the inertia and amnesia which form on jacket and then move towards some pages hundred & nineteen. The chapters of media are unlimited so we try to exploit the interactive stages unrolling the handling of it. When we arrive at the cosmopolitan multiplicities of our city or rather the cities within the city the interactive experience becomes our habitation. It is important to understand how we are questioning our aesthetical discourses or are we supposed to create or just apply what we see and perceive? Are we witnesses or do we try to subvert if boundaries exist! We are not aiming to describe anything for sure.</p>Shunyosthan Artists'
