As part of the second edition of the Senior Artist Residency — a collaboration between the Royal College of Art and Serendipity Arts Foundation — Indian contemporary artist Aditya Pande spent three months at RCA’s London campuses, engaging with its academic community and exploring new directions in his practice. His work blends digital and traditional techniques to create layered, multidimensional compositions. DISCONNECTED presents the outcomes of his residency.

DISCONNECTED—a collection of electrostatic photograms derived out of found, discarded data cables—the ubiquitous detritus of obsolete, stray and terminated lines appear as physical and metaphorical remains of vestigial connections of our interconnected world. Encountered as outcomes generated by extant networks; as outgrowths emanating from entrenched power structures, this series is a material portrait of interruptions and entanglements that criss-cross our landscapes and lives. These abstractions essay analogous realities of severed links in the apparatuses of power—the forced or incidental break-points, the dangling loose ends of grand narratives when encountering rationality beyond its own.
