KUALA LUMPUR – Step into a world of cubes, symmetrical shapes and boundless pixels as iNyala brings to you its latest iteration of a new media art exhibition. The show is put together by a team of digital and music artists, architects, university students and engineers.
Held from November 26 to December 25 at Fahrenheit88, the exhibition features 17 cutting-edge art installations in LED display cubes. It will transport audiences to a space of sight and sound, reimagined through the intersection of art, technology and data.
The digital artworks, composed of data and algorithms, explore Malaysia’s journey of progress toward achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations General Assembly (UN-GA).
The SDGs are a comprehensive set of goals to end poverty, protect our planet and improve the living conditions of the global population, now and into the future.
Through the curated multi-sensory art experiences, iNyala 2022 encourages visitors to navigate between real-life data that reveals the past and present, and collectively imagine new ways of thinking and doing to transform the world we live in.
The iNyala 2022 edition features 13 artworks resulting from an open call to the local higher education institutions in August 2022. There are also three dedicated canvases to showcase works from international and Malaysian artists.
A synchronised hourly multimedia show will be staged to present an interactive audio-visual experience that is akin to a world of beautiful possibilities when the interlinked Global Goals are achieved. It will involve all 17 art installations accompanied by music.
Sprawled across the Ground Atrium of Fahrenheit88 mall, the spatial experience is designed by internationally renowned artist and architect Jun Ong. It aims to provide a spontaneous, interactive and engaging experience beyond the standard art exhibition.
iNyala 2022 has also adopted innovative approaches that prioritise sustainable exhibition design and construction. A total of 75% of the materials used for the show are recyclable materials including raw cardboards and refurbished LED panels.
The iNyala 2022 is spearheaded by Helio Media, in collaboration with Filamen. It is supported by Tourism Malaysia and made possible by Fahrenheit88, NovaStar, Nextrend, De Carton, LIE Design, Inner Voices Productions, Jun Ong and Rubix.
