Thoughts, notes, and observations from Abodid.https://abodid.com/en-ushttps://abodid.com/blog/how-apple-funded-my-dream-at-rca/https://abodid.com/blog/how-apple-funded-my-dream-at-rca/In August 2022, my life changed completely. I got an acceptance letter from the Royal College of Art, London, and a few weeks later, a full scholarship from Apple. What started off as a thing on my wishlist was finally coming true!Fri, 07 Aug 2026 10:17:19 GMThttps://abodid.com/blog/i-transformed-over-80000-images-of-my-icloud-archive-into-an-exhibition-in-london/https://abodid.com/blog/i-transformed-over-80000-images-of-my-icloud-archive-into-an-exhibition-in-london/This installation compresses an entire personal archive with more than 80,000 photographs and screenshots from my iCloud, into a single one-meter square grid. Faces and moments are visible but never fully identifiable. The work questions consent, memory, and the strange compulsion to capture every little event in our lives.Wed, 14 Jan 2026 11:09:17 GMThttps://abodid.com/blog/from-an-abandoned-garage-into-the-hottest-exhibition-spot-in-london-in-just-two-days/https://abodid.com/blog/from-an-abandoned-garage-into-the-hottest-exhibition-spot-in-london-in-just-two-days/I helped turn an empty, messy space into a full-blown exhibition, and then documented the whole thing. The best part? My photos made it to the official social media pages.Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:58:06 GMThttps://abodid.com/blog/my-journey-inside-the-film-heritage-foundation-fhf-film-preservation-workshop/https://abodid.com/blog/my-journey-inside-the-film-heritage-foundation-fhf-film-preservation-workshop/I had always underestimated Bhubaneswar, but this time I was proved wrong when Film Heritage Foundation brought in people from BFI London, the MET Museum New York and Criterion to my doorsteps. This is a reflective journey into a beautiful week I spent in Kalabhoomi with the amazing people FHF brought together from across the globe.Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:49:19 GMThttps://abodid.com/blog/if-siri-finally-becomes-a-good-listener-the-future-is-bright/https://abodid.com/blog/if-siri-finally-becomes-a-good-listener-the-future-is-bright/A reflection on Apple Intelligence, Siri's promised personal context, on-screen awareness, App Intents, privacy, and why voice could become the most natural interface between intention and action.Mon, 08 Jun 2026 20:05:11 GMThttps://abodid.com/blog/how-photographing-my-seniors-work-turned-into-new-friendships/https://abodid.com/blog/how-photographing-my-seniors-work-turned-into-new-friendships/The act of photographing the show became a method of learning and belonging. Encounters with artists, spontaneous portraits, and long conversations made the event more than a display. It became a collective memory. The structure of the RCA program often isolates students across cohorts. The show disrupted that.Wed, 14 Jan 2026 11:13:08 GMThttps://abodid.com/blog/when-the-staff-steal-the-spotlight-inside-rca-most-surprising-exhibition/https://abodid.com/blog/when-the-staff-steal-the-spotlight-inside-rca-most-surprising-exhibition/You think you know RCA. Then Hidden happens. This exhibition shows what the technical and non-academic staff have been quietly making all along, and it’s an absolute stunner!!Wed, 14 Jan 2026 11:15:51 GMT
