NTU ADM Students Feature in i Light Singapore 2023 – A New Wave

Three NTU ADM Year 2 students from the Design Art Interactive Media major, Brigette Teo, Chao Zong Xin Berenice and Nicky Josephine Tjandra, featured in i Light Singapore 2023 – A New Wave. The festival runs from now till 25 June 2023 around the Marina Bay District and an expanded footprint at Millenia Walk and South Beach Avenue.

Berenice and Nicky's work, Bleached, connotes the fate of marine ecosystems affected by climate change and human activities. Simulating the experience of walking on a seabed, this artwork invites visitors to wander through an illuminated seascape adorned with ‘seaweed’ and ‘corals’. These are either made from seaweed bioplastics developed by the artists themselves, or upcycled from single-use plastics. The ‘reefs’ turn white temporarily when they sense movement and contact, alluding to coral bleaching caused by global warming and providing a stark reminder of how our actions can impact the environment.

We are proud of our students for their creativity and their commitment to using their art to raise awareness of important issues. We encourage everyone to visit i Light Singapore 2023 and see their works for yourselves.
