INTERNALEXTERNAL
'Natural Systems: Elixir of Gold' is part of a larger exhibit titled ‘Internal External’ held in Post- Museum, Singapore earlier this year. The installation is a constructed multilayered environment combining video projection, 3D computer animation and space modifiable backlit digital print. Using dreams as a conceptual motif and adopting simulated natural phenomena such as flow and growth, the work explores organic and natural design leading viewer thorough the aesthetic impression and internal contradictories of a dream states sensibilities. The exhibition space transforms into a constructed environment of tall backlit compositions, inundated with light and vivid imagery simulating an experience of a hypnagogic dream phase.
Made with the help of students from the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University where part of the educational mission is to provide opportunities for faculty and students to pursue art as research, the installation is created with the financial support from Academic Research Fund (AcRF). With a focus on exploring digitally generative systems and techniques for integrated image generation, painting methods with digital technologies and integrating traditional art methods and materials, the emphasis of art installation is on exploring the limitations of the digital medium, abstract painting and other forms of visual imagery, striving to achieve greater creative levels.
