Media Art Nexus or MAN is a community public art project that exhibits new media digital art created by the multi-disciplinary community of NTU. Through use of the latest multi-media technologies which are integrated into the curriculum and taught in the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) by Associate Professor Ina Conradi, MAN explores new terrains to enhance digital interactive media and fine art expressions.
MAN enhances students' learning experience and vibrancy on campus, by promoting interdisciplinary collaborations in art, design, science, medicine and engineering technologies. It acts as a channel for discourse, exchange, participation and novel expression of the NTU community, local and international artists, scientists, researchers, cultural and art institutions.
MAN is the second collaborative interdisciplinary project created by NTU Museum and the School of ADM.
Behind the Scenes
In collaboration with NTU Museum, MAN is redefining the meaning of urban media art in the public realm of Singapore by providing conditions for students and emerging artists to present their works locally and internationally. Featuring more than 400 artworks done by the NTU community, students, local and international artists in just its first year of operation, this 15 metres long by 2 metres media wall plays 3,640 hours of original content per year. MAN was selected by the Singapore Tourism Board as one of 13 Singaporean and Japanese leading contemporary creatives for 2017 edition of Singapore Inside Out Tokyo.
Since 2016, MAN has been networking with international research institutions, media labs, and cultural enterprises such as UCLA Art/Sci Lab, Ars Electronica Festival, Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, University New South Wales Art & Design, Sydney.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing (MEVIS), Bremen worked together with MAN on artistically presenting scientific medical data for concurrent premiers at the 2018 Ars Electronica Festival.
Other collaborations include Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany, one of the largest and most acoustically advanced concert halls in the world, the University of Applied Sciences Europe-Hamburg, University of Kent Canterbury England and Ceruleum Ecole D'Arts Visuels, Lausanne, Switzerland. The aim is to continue to connect NTU Singapore with leading artists and academic researchers from around the world.
