Abstract
In this article, the author, Beryl Graham, discusses her experience traveling in India while writing an article for a US magazine. She wrote this article while on a train traveling between Bangalore and Mumbai on a research trip to Delhi in December 2000. The article was then emailed to the editors from the Cyberia web cafe in Bangalore. The author uses three countries, United Kingdom, United States, and India, to compare the use of new media and the fact that they share divisions within their basic socio-economic structures which leads to similar access to ideas and facilities. However, the author acknowledges that artists in India will generally know more about artists working in the West than the West would know about artists based in India. For example, Graham discusses the work of Indian artist Vivan Sundaram who has been making video installations and site specific work for many years but is not as well recognized in the US. The article discusses educational, social and commercial ventures which symbolizes the differences in cultures by media and personal diaspora. For example, the Indian Directory of Electronic Art CD-ROM magazine was produced in Delhi with limited resources, but was able to be circulated worldwide through the Media Art Industry.
