About
Bidisha is a media artist working closely with nature and sound art. She works with various self-made instruments and sonification techniques. Her work is primarily inspired by the phenomena of life, cosmos and bio-sounds. In her work, she explores the compound abstraction of the soundscapes through several improvised sonic space-time ventures. Bidisha often captures the unheard and focuses on the intangible aspects to be comprehended through the process of the artwork. Over the years, she had spent a lot of time in various forests around India and also around the world including the Amazon rainforest. She is fascinated by the variety and harmony of life forms co-existing and often tries to capture this in her works. She has shown her artworks globally in various exhibitions, festivals and residencies. She has also been part of the future space mission design with NASA-Caltech. Bidisha often weaves in the art-science aspects of the stories together in her explorations which continue to question and look into the wonders of life.she grew up in Calcutta, India and is currently based in Cologne, Germany.
An Artistic Cartography of the Present in Real Time Sounding Earth is a geography of listening—a living sound map woven not from memory or archive, but from the heartbeat of now. Emerging from fieldwork across India, Bhutan, and Indonesia, the project transmits real-time sounds of biodiverse terrains—human and beyond human. These live streams extend through handcrafted instruments co-created with local makers. The installation expands listening outward, merging multiple temporalities into a constant, shifting present. Sounds emerge, vanish, and reappear—never repeating, always alive. This is cartography through ears, a resonance of place, a co-composition with wind, weather, animals, and land. It is a call: to listen, now.
