Ranu Mukherjee is a digital video maker, installation artist and educator. Her work has been screened and presented widely in the UK, Europe, South Africa and Canada. Ranu has been involved in numerous productions as videographer, editor and compositor. In 2000 she co-directed and edited Lineaments of the Lwa, a film essay on Haitian Vodou, with UK filmmaker Leah Gordon and artist Maggie Roberts. She has worked on music videos for electronica artists Apache61, Kode9 and Oojami, motion graphics for Spielbergs' AI and live visuals for countless musical events. In 1994 she co-founded orphan drift, a media art collective whose work functions both as an experiment with artistic subjectivity and as an exploration of memetic patterns of desire, production and consumption. Orphan drift received grants from the Arts Councils of England, Norway and Canada for exhibitions, events and editions.
