Ashok Sukumaran co-founded CAMP, a Mumbai-based studio that has since 2007 been producing work in film and video, electronic media and public art forms, in a practice characterised by a hands-dirtying, non-alienated relation to technology. CAMP’s projects have engaged with communication, energy, transport and surveillance systems; ports, ships, archives, housing projects, complex social and technical assemblies. These are shown as unstable and contestable, in the sense of not having a fixed function or destiny – making them both a medium and stage for artistic activity. CAMP hosts long running media platforms, including Pad.ma, Indiancine.ma, a rooftop cinema, and related infrastructures.  Their artworks have been exhibited in art and film venues worldwide, recently in 2023 in live lecture formats at M+ Hong Kong and MoMA, New York. They are recipients of the 2020 Nam June Paik Centre Art prize. In 2023, Ashok Sukumaran and Shaina Anand from CAMP were guest professors at Forensic Architecture/ Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London.
