I enjoy spending time with people that do not focus on a specific stream of knowledge or sciences. Over the period of last five years, I have organized several public outreach events at the University of Konstanz and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior. These events include public talks, excursions in nature and art exhibitions at public venues across Europe. I also got the opportunity to establish two art-science programs as part of a collaboration between leading artistic and research institutions in Germany. These programs have lead to more than 15 public exhibitions involving several art projects based on theme of biodiversity loss, conservation and behavior.
I mainly work on audio-visual art projects involving oral performances of short stories and drawings. I also work with writers, visual artists and musicians in various capacities.
Collaborations
A collaboration with Hyeseon Jeong and Seongmin Yuk on The Backpack of Wings. Served a mentor during project and participated in public several exhibitions at ZKM Karlsruhe and Konstanz.
A collaboration with Kristin Jakubek and Leon Brandt. Served a mentor during project and participated in public exhibition at Konstanz.
Established collaboration between Max Planck Institute, University of Konstanz and Merz Akademie. The collaboration serves as platform for art students to interact and collaborate with scientists. The collaboration started in 2021 and has resulted in more than 5 exhibitions and 15+ audio-visual projects focused on animal behavior research.
I advised Ryan Huling regarding the texts involving recent trends in AI based animal tracking. The book highlights some of my research and it is hitting shelves in 2026.
Performances
Encounters with the wild
I started this project with my “FieldTrip” fellowship at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in 2022 and 2024. The project combines my artwork with stories of locals in India. The artwork is exhibited in more than 10 public exhibitions in Germany, UK (Oxford Brooks University, 2026) and Spain (Inland CAR, Madrid, 2026).
This performance was part of a hybrid event at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart in 2021. The performance invited people from across the world to join for a short meditative exercise focused on observing nature.
Animalesque workshop
Participated in Climate Care event event organized at Berlin in 2019. The event included a public talk about ICARUS initiative and a birding walk with participants.
University of Konstanz & Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior
I regularly participate in in-house outreach events. Recently, contributed to long night of science (Munich 2025) and MaxCine festival (Radolfzell 2025).
