Sai Srikar's current practice combines various image-making devices, both digital and analog, to explore the emotional, psychological, and phenomenological effects of new media and image production in the digital age. Through his work, Srikar aims to bring attention to the unthinking reliance on the solidity of the digital image and the technologies behind it. The visual experiments and installations act as interventions in the viewer’s perceived reality and urge them to rethink the status of the digital photographic image and our perception of the world mediated by devices.

Using the digital camera as a primary tool, Srikar combines it with other visual devices such as projectors, screens, and visual scripting software and video editing tools, along with hardware such as Arduino microcontrollers and electronics, to create interactive and immersive installations. These installations explore the relationship between the human body, video, and space, as well as the medium’s capacity to transform the viewer's perception of self and time upon entering these spaces. This approach invites participants to become aware of the dissonance between their mental self-image and the outward representation of themselves within a technologically saturated, image-based world. The experience offers viewers a chance to explore the malleability of human perception and the ways devices can trigger and affect this plasticity.

Srikar believes that, with today’s digital technology, the image is no longer a stable representation of the world but a programmable database that is updated in real time. They observe that society increasingly exists in a world where images participate in numerous hidden processes behind their screen appearances and so-called “interactivity.” For Srikar, the temporality of the digital image no longer reflects the past but embodies a radical present—a continuous, 24-frames-per-second reiteration of the video signal displayed on screen.
