Kathputlee-Interactive, a group of working artists, animators, young art historians and researchers, takes up a new interactive venture with a technical printing process, and intervenes into the visual arts domain with its own interpretative attitude. These art works deliberately attempts to re-present some mostly celebrated images from the great masters and also from the popular cultural images, reproduced technically in 3D, with all the graces of a three dimensional spatial experience. The artworks raise critical issues around the form of art and spectatorship. These works contain sincere efforts from handpicked young emerging artists and seeks for an earnest interpretation from the art viewers. Largely the current venture of Kathputlee Interactive works upon conceptual and spatial positioning of a spectator. In a futuristic manner the Kathputlee Interactive seeks to deal with the cross genre experimentations.
