Founded in 1991, their hybridized practice is both rooted in the geography of Delhi and the nomadism of the web. They are also the co-founders of the Sarai New Media Lab which serves as their studio, hosts workshops, and maintains www.sarai.net, an extensive web site containing essays, discussion groups, and interactive projects investigating the role of media in our increasingly cosmopolitan world. Raqs has exhibited around the globe, including the 50th Venice Biennale and Documenta 11.
