Kooj (aka. Kuljit S Chuhan) is a media artist and film maker who wants to progress cultural, artistic, social and historical issues within broad, global and local contexts. Kooj was born in India and maintains a diaspora sensibility, always keen to involve migrant perspectives in his work. Aesthetic concerns include the interface between documentary, fiction and reality; non-linear narratives and interactivity; manipulating the real between music and moving image; and post-colonial cultural development. He is an associate lecturer teaching on the Contemporary Film & Video degree (directing, music, theory) at Manchester Metropolitan University and has been exhibited and published across the UK and internationally, featuring at festivals such as VIDEO POSITIVE, ISEA and SIGGRAPH.
