Officier radio de la Marine, il a ensuite étudié les Sciences Politiques à l’Université du Kerala avant d’avoir une pratique artistique. Ce parcours atypique l’amène naturellement à avoir un intérêt fort pour les pratiques multimédias.
Vivek Vilasini avec "Between one shore and several other" semble capturer les saveurs du « monde passe-plat » de la mondialisation. Il s’explique en soulignant que son but n'est pas de débattre de ses avantages ou inconvénients mais simplement de la dépeindre.
Vivek participe actuellement, avec 27 artistes photographes et vidéo à ’’India : Public Places, Private Spaces’’ au Newark Museum, New Jersey, EU. Cette exposition explore la vitalité artistique contemporaine Indienne née des changements économiques et politiques, de l'influence envahissante des médias ainsi que de la rivalité entre tradition culturelle et mondialisation.

Beginning as a radio officer in the Navy, he then studied political science at the University of Kerala before beginning his artistic practice. This atypical career naturally led him to a strong interest in multimedia techniques.
With "Between one shore and several others", Vivek Vilasini seems to capture the flavor of the "serving-hatch" world of globalization. He explains, emphasizing that his goal is not to debate its benefits and drawbacks, but simply to describe it.
Vivek is currently participating in "India: Public Places, Private Spaces", an exhibit held at the Newark Museum in New Jersey including 27 photographers and video artists. This exhibit explores the vitality of contemporary Indian art born of economic and political change, the invasive influence of media, and the rivalry between cultural traditions and globalization.
