Ghorar Dim Studios is a very special collaborative space for artists, enginers and makers with a common vision to get together and create/invent curious objects and wearables. Brainchild of Saiq’a Chowdhury, this studio is driven by the love of nonsense and science!
Note from the artist
I love nonsense. Growing up with the likes of Sukumar Ray, Edward Lear, Upendrokishore Ray, Lewis Carroll , I am blown away by the worlds they’ve crafted – written about and drawn. The level of logic in nonsense remains unparalleled even today! And when you think logic, there is science. The scientific aspect of experiencing nonsense is as beautiful as it is real whether we look at the science in these worlds (some may call that “cartoon physics”) or the very medium by which we have experienced many mind-boggling surreal imagery through the decades. As someone working in entertainment, crafting make-believe comes with a profound love for the moving image technologies that have brought us the entertaintment. Ghorar Dim (Bengali metaphor for “nonsense” literally translating to “Horse’s Eggs”) is a studio where nonsense meets science. Thus this is a perfect place, for artists, writers, musicians and storytellers to collaborate with engineers and scientists to create and invent mezmerising new projects. Ghorar Dim’s debut work is presented here on the website. Please give @ghorardim.studios a follow on instagram as we build on in this wonderful new journey.
