In Tushar Joag's work for Pune, a city in which he has lived many years, the artist was inspired by the community of young people leaning on bikes, enjoying the fall of night, staring into the LED brightness of many cell-phone screens, talking while passing messages between them. They, passers-by, and visitors to the Pune Biennale, are invited by Joag to enter a local wifi network with their phones into a two-dimensional
community. They enter with 125,000 Karma currency, allowed to plot out their dreams and visions of the city’s expansion through building apartments, dams and bridges,
buying household supplies, which can be counter-weighedvby planting trees. In this game with moral rules, citizenship, is an exchange of karmas, a primer on living together.
