London & Bengaluru

Abodid Sahoo

Creative Director, Artist and Researcher.

I turn research, archives, and emerging technology into participatory experiences that help people connect.

Royal College of Art alumnus and Apple Scholar. My work bridges spatial design, cinema, AI knowledge systems, and cultural documentation — moving between London underground garage exhibitions, institutional spaces, and interactive web prototypes.

The Ethos · Manifesto Core

Why Before What.

With a medium-agnostic approach, I start with the reason for why the project needs to exist and then figure out the medium which works best for the most effective creative expression.
