I was invited to do a live ebru performance at IIT Guwahati's annual tech fest, Techniche.
A 3 day event filled with robots, lasers, and lectures, Techniche 2012 also offered artistic entertainment in the evenings.
Indica Ebru.
The performance was about a hour and half long. During which I made some detailed patterns, flowers, peacock feathers, birds, and an om symbol.
Heres what they had to say about me, "As the paint droplets swirl and twirl on the liquid, the realization that art is forever expanding and always surprising hits you gently. This art of creating marbled paper using impressions drawn from viscous liquid dates back to the 15th century, yet its beauty seems current. Danny Rodriguez is a new-age proponent of Ebru Art who combines the ancient turkish art with modern techniques to create an end-result that never ceases to amaze."
As an added bonus, a couple nights later I set up a DIY ebru booth and gave some Techniche goers the chance to experience ebru first hand.

When I was done performing I relaxed and enjoyed my visit, while finding my way to a couple of the local temples of Guwahati, India.
