Caldo Worldwide
Caldo Worldwide is a curated online-gallery and publishing house dedicated to contemporary art, with a focus on speculative gaming, digital art and technologically engaged practices.
Sahej Rahal
Sahej Rahal is an artist from Mumbai, India. He is a storyteller who weaves counter-mythologies that interrogate narrations of the present. This myth world takes the shape of sculptures, performances, films, paintings, installations, video games, and AI simulation programs. Drawing upon folklore prophecies, archeological conspiracies, and hidden histories, he renders scenarios where the fictive and the real begin to converse, at the borderlines of myth and memory.

Anhad
Anhad is an interactive AI simulation where cybernetic chimeras confront the limits of the human scale with the infinitude of song. On first approach, viewers encounter an AI controlled creature wandering a digital forest. The AI driven limbs of this tripedal being, carry recorded notes of Hindustani music, that emanate as it navigates around the virtual flora.
Audio feedback from the external world interrupts the creature, changing its movements and consequentially modulating its music. This continuous interplay of sound between the physical and virtual worlds, allows Anhad to generate an infinitely modulating song.
