Shadows of Time: Content creation for the Performance art installation

Shadows of Time is a non-linear narrative video installation which would be used as a backdrop for the larger performance event. The content creation for the performance was undergone a series of process to achieve the style which was decided by the team. The installation will showcase only the photographs of architectural details of Tombs which would depict symbolically the different phases of her life such as Hayat Bakshi’s timeline, her husband’s death, her thoughts about future following her death and finally showcasing the present scenario. In the process, I explored various style of image processing, methods and processes of filmmaking, different kind of treatments in order to achieve the required output as per the decided framework. The result is an eight-minute video narrative projection without dialogues along with the composed music and set design. The final installation event would be a collaboration with the performance artists along with other interactive installations contributed by other members in the team

Zebrafish Neurobehavioral Phenomics for Aquatic Neuropharmacology and Toxicology Research

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are rapidly emerging as an important model organism for aquatic neuropharmacology and toxicology research. The behavioral/phenotypic complexity of zebrafish allows for thorough dissection of complex human brain disorders and drug-evoked pathological states. As numerous zebrafish models become available with a wide spectrum of behavioral, genetic, and environmental methods to test novel drugs, here we discuss recent zebrafish phenomics methods to facilitate drug discovery, particularly in the field of biological psychiatry. Additionally, behavioral, neurological, and endocrine endpoints are becoming increasingly well-characterized in zebrafish, making them an inexpensive, robust and effective model for toxicology research and pharmacological screening. We also discuss zebrafish behavioral phenotypes, experimental considerations, pharmacological candidates and relevance of zebrafish neurophenomics to other \u27omics\u27 (e.g., genomic, proteomic) approaches. Finally, we critically evaluate the limitations of utilizing this model organism, and outline future strategies of research in the field of zebrafish phenomics. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
