Unseen Light

​

​​​Date: 15 May - 15 December 2014

Venue: The Gallery of Art & Technology Explorations (GATE)

Unseen Light is a showcase of students' works from the Photography and Digital Imaging Program at the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM). Included artists are: Adrian Wong, Leonard Yang, Marvin Tang, Phyllicia Wang, and Victor Gui. Selected works explore special relationships between the self and our everyday that are perceived, felt, and experienced differently. Feelings such as reminiscence, fear, awe, and dynamism are manifested and aroused. Just as scientists explore unusual aspects of light, the artists utilize non-conventional visual methods to explore and re-imagine spaces and invent new perspective​s. 

Through the use of techniques such as pinhole cameras, digital imaging, large-format photography and other unorthodox materials, these artists give inspirations to a new refreshing array of possibilities in inter-disciplinary research between art, photography, and the physical sciences. Unseen Light takes you on a journey where photography runs alongside state-of-the-art scientific laboratories - a reflection on how urban development and academic research are reshaping the landscape of Singapore.

Unseen Light is an inaugural exhibition of the Gallery of Art & Technology Explorations (GATE) at the School of Physical Sciences and Mathematics (SPMS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The GATE is a catalyst and interdisciplinary space for SPMS and ADM students to collaborate and share ideas.​
