"Empyrean" is a music video developed by Ganesh Rao and Jonny Greenwald at the Dept. of Visualization at Texas A&M University under the guidance of Professor Karen Hillier. The objective was to create a visually intriguing cinematic experience, with stunning technicality and conceptual elements. Minimal and symbolic characters and sets were used to vaguely portray themes of 'genesis' with underlying elements of the Hindu mythology. Musically, the piece has ambient and atmospheric soundscapes layered over powerful rhythmic motifs and voices. The piece has a pleasant surreal incline, with enough room left intentionally for subjective interpretation by the audience.

A new exploration into the Classical Indian dance tradition of Odissi; Tarang combines the collage techniques of British artist David Hockney, called a joiner, and stereographic 3D. Tarang, hindi for wave, adopts its name for the motion and fluidity of the editing along with the shimmering effect created by the joiner technique. This is also the first time the dance has been filmed in stereo, giving it a new experience.

Dancer: Aparupa Chatterjee
