alladeen
The Builders Association/motiroti's Alladeen
Bangalore–London–New York
The Alladeen project encompasses three collaborative works: a web project, www.alladeen.com (directed by Ali Zaidi); a cross-media stage performance (directed by Marianne Weems); and a music video (directed by Ali Zaidi), featuring music by Shrikanth Sriram (Shri) and video by Peter Norrman. Although distinct, these three works have been created in tandem, drawing on a common pool of imagery and information, with material from each interwoven into the others.As a whole, the Alladeen project explores how we all function as "global souls" caught up in circuits of technology, how our voices and images travel from one culture to another, and the ways in which these cultures continually reinterpret each other's signs and stories.

xtravaganza
Video Design by Peter Norrman
XTRAVAGANZA draws on the history of multi-media entertainment, ranging from the film exhibitions of the 1910's to the Busby Berkeley dance numbers of the 1930's. XTRAVAGANZA mixes these early forms with current spectacular musical entertainment, including trip-hop music and video. XTRAVAGANZA "samples" fragments of the theatrical past through the language of contemporary DJ and VJ culture.
Many early musical revues and stage extravaganzas can be seen as the multi-media spectacles of their own time, combining technological devices, music, stage design, text, and movement in a spectacular event intended to transport its audience. The pioneering artists featured in XTRAVANGANZA, Loie Fuller, Steele McKaye, Busby Berkeley, and Florence Zigfeld are quoted, explored, and celebrated for their fantastic, futuristic, and sometimes failed visions of a new era.

m/index
The m(ovement)/index monitors the frequency of people's use of space. The index count triggers short videos at regular intervals that are superimposed on a real-time live feed of the monitored space. The projected visuals reflect the counter overtime. Sound and light indicate discreet instances of one person's movements. Together they remotely recreate a presentation of the variations of inhabited space.

jetlag
JET LAG is a cross-media project developed collaboratively by The Builders Association and the architect/media artists Diller, Scofidio + Renfro.
JET LAG is based on two actual personalities in recent history, whose lives were enmeshed in complications of time and space brought on by contemporary technologies.
1.Donald Crowhurst sailed in circles off the coast of South America, producing a counterfeit log and sending home regular reports documenting a fake ten month sailing competition around the world.
2. Sarah Krassnoff was an American grandmother, who over a period of six months in 1970 crossed the Atlantic in 167 consecutive flights with her grandson to elude the pursuit of the child's father and psychiatrist.
