Budhaditya Chattopadhyay is an Indian-born media artist, researcher, and writer, with a PhD in sound studies from Leiden University, The Netherlands. Prior to his PhD, Chattopadhyay graduated from the national film school of India specializing in sound, and received a Master of Arts degree in new media from Aarhus University, Denmark. Chattopadhyay's work questions the materiality, site-specificity and objecthood of sound, and addresses the aspects of contingency, contemplation, mindfulness, and transcendence inherent in listening. His artistic practice intends to shift the emphasis from object to situation and from immersion to discourse in the realm of sound and media art. Chattopadhyay has received numerous fellowships, residencies, and international awards, and his works have been widely exhibited, performed, or presented. He has an extensive list of scholarly publications in the areas of contemporary media, cinema, and sound studies in leading peer-reviewed journals. Website: http://budhaditya.org/mail@budhaditya.org
