Tara Kelton | Contemporary Art

Tara Kelton is an Indian-American artist living in Bangalore. She investigates forms of drawing and the relationship between human and machine in light of new technology and tools of image production. Her practice focuses on the diminishing role of the human in contemporary society as it is being replaced by automation, AI, and digital mediation, and the remote control of labor by Western bodies and corporations. Tara is also co-editor of the publishing series Silicon Plateau, an art project and publishing series that explores the intersection of technology, culture and society in Bangalore.

In this episode, we talk about her life, work, and opinions on internet, automation and techno-utopian/dystopian future we are heading into.
