Mukul is artistic codirector of ambientTV.NET, where he collaborates across media including sound, film, text, live performance, cookery, and the internet. Some of his sound work is informed by Indian music and the OuLiPo. He has worked extensively with dance in a range of environments, from underground electronic clubs in the 1990s (notably, in London: Talvin Singh’s Anokha and Calcutta Cyber Café), through to more formal settings by contemporary choreographers such as Russell Maliphant and Akram Khan. He is currently composing for Manu Luksch's forthcoming film, Faceless.

If you could imagine a Surreal world with a Gorky painting married to a Mondrian, but having an affair with a silent Brakhage, simultaneously flirting with Truffaut’s eye capturing moments that have little to do with the story, but with life passing by, then you will know what to expect in Eng’s video performances.

What kind of cinema is appropriate for the age of Google and blogging? Automatic surveillance and self-guided missiles? Consumer profiling and CNN? To investigate answers to this question Lev Manovich - one of today’s most influential thinkers in the fields of media arts and digital culture – has paired with award-winning new media artist and designer Andreas Kratky to create the Soft Cinema project. They have also invited contributions from leaders in other cultural fields: DJ Spooky, Scanner, George Lewis and Jóhann Jóhannsson (music), servo and Andreas Angelidakis (architecture), Schoenerwissen/Office for Computational Design (data visualization), and Ross Cooper Studios (media design).

SOFT CINEMA: NAVIGATING THE DATABASE is available through The MIT Press (mitpress.mit.edu), online resellers and selected bookstores.
