Eleven years ago Sood ended up curating art, for Google, “by mistake”. “It was not intentional – he told us on the occasion of his visit to Italy for the digitization of the Milan Cathedral -. In India, where I was born, people aspire to become doctors, lawyers, at most engineers. This is why my parents, at first, they thought I had failed. ”
Sood, to be honest, just wanted to be a chef. But then her life and her opportunities took him elsewhere, to the rooms of the most beautiful museums in the world. And after talking about Nft, metaverse, Google Glass and new languages to tell art, the head of Google Arts & Culture with the cameras off has finally averted his gaze from the future. And looking into our eyes he admitted: “I do the best job in the world“.
