The Key to Happiness by Nandan Venkatesan

Screenshot from a video, featuring a male student with a thought bubble that reads, "Happy?"

COURSE: Independent Project

MEDIUM: Video

DESCRIPTION:
I made a film about what it takes to be happy In an ever-so-distracted world. This is something that came to mind during quarantine when I spent well over half my day on my laptop (including creating my videos, of course). So…what makes you happy?

ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
We’re too absorbed in our daily lives. We keep doing one thing after another and just live life by ticking off boxes on a to-do list. That can’t be the key to being happy, right? I took a step back and thought a little bit more about what makes me happy — and then I made a video about it.
