Featured Light Installations:
Circadian 85 (Campus 1 Foyer)
As a highlight of the NAFA 85th Anniversary Performing Arts Festival, Iskander Abori (Programme Leader, Faculty of Interdisciplinary Practices) collaborated with Audio and Electrical Engineer Fu Yongwei (Adjunct Lecturer, School of Arts Management) to create this truly unique installation. By utilising cutting-age technology to manipulate the physical property of light, this exhibit reproduces past dance, theatre and music images from NAFA’s photo archives. This installation will also feature music composition by sound designer Dayn Ng (Adjunct Lecturer, School of Music).
This interdisciplinary project utilises computer vision, embedded systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create these images, providing an interactive and immersive experience for visitors. Through the use of various hardware and software components, such as single-board computers, microcontrollers, sensors and wireless communication modules, the past, present and future are unified in one breathtaking visual display.
This installation is created in collaboration with students from Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) and Humans Upgrading Around Technical Skills (HUATS).
Colours of NAFA (Lee Foundation Theatre, ground floor entrance)
To celebrate NAFA 85th Anniversary Performing Arts Festival, the Year 2 Arts Management students came together to create this light installation, developed as part of the ‘Lighting Fundamental’ module.
By utilising a range of glass bottles with different colours and sizes, the students seek to showcase the diverse talents of past, present and future members of the performing arts community. This initiative is intended to celebrate the individual values and character traits that contribute to NAFA’s vibrant and inclusive culture. Some of the bottles also feature reflections from the current students on NAFA’s history, their personal feelings towards the institution, as well as their hopes and aspirations for its future.
