Arupa's work explores the complex interplay between cultural legacies, ephemeral materials, and the pervasive influence of artificial intelligence, focusing on how these elements shape human behavior and societal norms. Rooted in the vibrant cultural landscape, the investigations delve into the subconscious biases embedded within technological systems, seeking to unearth and critically examine the latent assumptions that guide our interactions. By meticulously analyzing data derived from both cultural artifacts and inherently transient materials, transformed through AI, they generate speculative scenarios that challenge established preconceptions. These scenarios offer a lens through which to view potential futures, prompting a reevaluation of the relationship between tradition and innovation. The objective is not to predict the future, but to provoke critical discourse. Furthermore, Arupa explores the tension between permanence and impermanence, employing AI to model the behavioral economics of these states. The resultant analyses seek to question how perceptions of time and value may continue to evolve in a technology saturated world. The artist statement is not meant to offer answers but to pose questions.
