Arun Kumar
Game Designer. Creative Technologist. Educator. • he/him
I have a background in technology but a deep interest in art, culture and games. I'm interested in system theory, understanding the interconnected networks of systems that is the world that we live in.
I moved back to India to start a gaming parlour in 2003, which ran for three years. In 2007, I joined Srishti as a faculty to set up a course in Game Design. Those three years in Srishti opened my eyes to a whole new world of arts, design, culture, philosophy etc. The learning continues.
I'm trying to use my skills in coding to develop interactive works. I currently pay the bills by consulting with a few NGOs who are building wireless networking infrastructure in Wayanad, Kerala and another NGO based in Bangalore provides technology to the low-literates.

RadBots are an NFT collection of conversational videobots created by leading global artists. The project combines 2022’s most advanced artificial intelligence, authored screenplays and Dara.network’s async video-chat platform to bring fascinating AI characters to life on anyone’s phone. RadBots is a radical experiment in modern collectivism and responsible crypto.
Renji is the RadBot that I worked on as part of this project. They are a non-binary member of the Paniyar tribe from Wayanad, Kerala. They are interested in arts and culture, and hold progressive views. They work towards a more equitable and just society for all people, regardless of religion, gender, caste or social class.
