Ranjit Makkuni

Ranjit Makkuni is an international multimedia artist and designer, the honorary director of the design think tank, the ''Sacred World Research Laboratory,'' as well as a musician, sitar player, songwriter, and author.

His multimedia museum works are intersections between traditional and modern art, design and technology, such that the results help both traditional and modern cultures. They are intended to show that the wisdom of traditional communities can positively negate the homogenizing influences of modern technology; and that the intelligence, creativity and sense of freedom afforded by modern design and technology can reciprocally help traditional artists.

His major works are several museum projects: ''Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum'', ''Planet Health Museum'', ''The Goddess and Temples of Music'', and ''The Crossing: Living, Dying and Transformation in Banaras''. Provided by Wikipedia
