I am a new media artist from Pondicherry. My art lets me work with music, lights, computers, art and people. My main interest is in interactive art installations and immersive experiential performances.

Some of my work: https://vinaykhare.in

I like walking around places, there are so many things to see! I am just fascinated by a lot of things, and could spend a lifetime observing and experimenting with things. Not a small talker but, always up for conversations around something meaningful, can also switch to childish banter easily.

I like constructing daydreams, get lost in my work but am also extremely grounded!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like exploring new places, especially places that are quiet and beautiful and aren't 'popular' or 'touristy'. These places are usually only known by those already living there, and would love to make friends who can guide me. I also enjoy meeting other people of various backgrounds, since they lead to interesting conversations. Also always interesting to hear stories of like minded people.

I hope to move out on my own so I can start hosting!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy Indian Classical Music, and composers such as Nils Frahm, Bonobo and Olafur Arnalds.
I generally read non-fiction books on history, philosophy and some things around that area.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing that is objectively amazing. Only things that might be amazing within their contexts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge in 'making' - electronics and mechanical projects, and all my different passions. I create phygital artworks and more than happy to share more on that. Would love to have a conversation on philosophy and art and music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all things in the field of art and technology that I have found interesting. I can share some recipes in various cuisines; not a good cook, have just tried quite a few things.
