"Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody,
only because, and only when, they are created by everybody." - Jane Jacobs,

The artworks and spatial interventions in this exhibition are drawn through pixels, algorithm, raw social data and digital codes occasionally punctuated with hand drawn marks. The resulting juxtaposition of movements, engagements and compositions are the outcome of the visual enquiry that began with asking questions such as how can we
visualize and give form to a non-static image? How the ownership of public and private create patterns of inclusion and exclusion? And how a computer code and user generated data facilitate in the visualization of such seemingly invisible forms, patterns and narratives?

The artist acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and thanks the Karachi Biennial Trust for facilitating workshops for his Karachi Biennial 2017 project at sites such as Orangi Pilot Project. Karachi School of Art. The NJV High School, and the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture. His interactions with the workshop participants, students and community members, helped him to collect raw data to visualize many of the artworks presented in this exhibition.
