Media Art Nexus

Media Art Nexus, or MAN, is a community public art project. We aim to create an immersive art platform for exhibiting interactive new media art to the public. It is comprised of the multi-disciplinary arts community at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). As an artistic movement, we create public art for display on 15×2 meter LED screen at the North Spine Plaza NTU.

Crepuscular Rays of the Moon creates various abstract and interactive audio-visual chapters of dreamlike fantasies inspired by the moon. The works were commissioned for the 2017 edition of Singapore: Inside Out Tokyo (SG:IO). Multimedia art collective Media Art Nexus (MAN for short) was one among 13 Singaporean (SG) and Japanese (JP) leading contemporary creative talents from disciplines performing and visual arts that took part in Inside Out Tokyo (SG:IO).

Themed “HyperCity”, the showcase focused on the coming together of creatives from Singapore and Japan in a joint exploration of the cultural trends arising from the shifts towards a digital urban age. For this occasion artists, Mark Chavez and Ina Conradi collaborated with the Singaporean fashion designer Josiah Chua and his 2018 capsule collection, titled “光”, which is “light” in Japanese.

Media Art Nexus created an interactive projection across a large screen of dazzling stars and light that moved with the viewer, all to evoke that specific magic of Sailor Moon’s transformation. The works were also exhibited at the UCLA Art|Sci Center in Los Angeles (2018) and are currently on a permanent display at the Media Art Nexus at the Nanyang Technological University Singapore.

This public art installation is a project of the NTU Museum at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
