August 2017

For Singapore Inside Out (SG:IO) Tokyo 2017 exhibition ‘Hyper City’, multimedia collective MAN NTU,  artists Ina Conradi and Mark Chavez, collaborated with the Singaporean fashion designer Josiah Chua and his 2018 capsule collection, titled “光”, which is “light” in Japanese. Media Art Nexus collective created an interactive projection across large screen of dazzling stars and light that moved with the viewer, all to evoke that specific magic of Sailor Moon’s transformation. The piece has translated the idea of time in hyperspace as depicted in the anime magical girl series of Sailor Moon. The magical transformation sequence of the concept of “frozen in time” was expressed through the medium of clothing/material and projected Crepuscular Rays of the Moon, myriad abstract dreamlike animated fantasies inspired by the moon.
