In his art, we see a futuristic Pakistan with endless possibilities, ranging from dhoodwalas supplying milk on hovering bikes to half-human, half-cyborg beggars. But Gilani now intends to move beyond digital paintings to create a more immersive experience for his audience. Based on his sci-fi illustrations, the showcase will involve digital paintings, projection mapping, virtual reality, interactive displays, animations, ambient sound, and even a hovering rickshaw. Talking to The Express Tribune, Gilani shared his vision of how he came to expand his desi sci-fi world by employing multiple media.
