Stratimirovic completed her studies in specialized lighting design at the University of Fine Arts and Crafts and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), both in Stockholm. Stratimirovic has completed numerous temporary and permanent site -specific light-art installati ons on public places in Sweden, Serbia, Slovenia and Netherlands. She is the co - founder of the Lighting Guerilla Festival in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and the founder and artistic director of the Belgrade of Light festival in Serbia. In 2010 and 2011, her work was shown in exhibitions in New York, Stockholm, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Tokyo, Osaka and Verona. Concept Sweet Home is an adaptation of an original work created by Stratimirovic for Belgrade of Light 2011. The work is a site -specific light installation co mprising lanterns taking the form of ordinary lampshades. In Belgrade, Stratimirovic created the work in order to bring warmth and a homely atmosphere to one of the most polluted, busiest and exciting streets in the city. Stratimirovic envisioned for the work to encourage stroller to “take control of the street, monster-trucks to be replaced by babies in push -chairs, towers to grow out of the asphalt, for the smell of fresh pastry to sweep away exhaust gas, and for old ruined buildings to smile at us.” Wh ile the Singapore streetscape at Marina Bay may be a different environment than the one Stratimirovic worked with in Belgrade, the colourful forms of the lanterns nonetheless aim at spreading warmth and homeliness in the urban environment and create a spec ial, cosy character in the area. Organised by Festival Direction by Held in i Light Marina Bay 2012 9 March – 1 April Marina Bay Sweet Home is supported by Philips Lighting. Organised by Festival Direction by Held in i Light Marina Bay 2012 9 March – 1 April Marina Bay Crystallised (2011) Andrew Daly and Katherine Fife, Australia Bio Andrew Daly participated in the inaugural Sydney Smart Light Festival with the installation Lumenocity displayed in the forecourt of Customs House. The installation won the Australian Broadcasting Corporation BC 702 People’s Choice Award, and was subsequently exhibited at i Light Marina Bay 2010. In 2011, Daly exhibited two installations Crystallised and Carnivlux at Vivid Sydney with design collaborator Katharine Fife. Daly recently earned a masters degree in architecture and is currently based in Sydney. Katharine Fife participated in Vivid Sydney 2011 as a co -creator of Crystallised and Carnivlux . Katharine completed her Bachelors of Design in Architecture at Sydney University in 2011. She is currently working at PTW Architects in Sydney and will shortly be moving to Paris to intern with Ateliers Jean Nouvel. Concept Today, the scattered twink ling stars are diminished by city light pollution, clouding our view of the night sky. Crystallised is an abstraction of the starry night sky, a spatial installation for people to walk beneath and reflect on the impact of poorly considered lighting on city life. Crystallised creates a space “hollowed out” of five thousand edge-lit acrylic rods - a glowing internal landscape like a cave with a ceiling of glittering stalactites. The rods act as a canopy, using programmed LED’s to create an ever fluctuating colourful abstraction of the night sky. Crystallised is supported by the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning and the University of Sydney. Organised by Festival Direction by Held in i Light Marina Bay 2012 9 March – 1 April Marina Bay Tree Stories (2012) Angela Chong, Singapore Bio Angela Chong graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology with a degree in sculpture. Currently a practicing installation artist, Chong has a keen interest in creating a narrative in her works. Her works deals with light and darkness, constan tly blurring the line between fiction and reality. She is currently interested in creating interactive works and had her first outdoor public light work at i Light Marina Bay Singapore in 2010. This work was also shown in Australia at Vivid Sydney in 201 1. Chong has participated in several art residencies, notably in Iceland in 2010 and Japan in 2008 as well as participating in the Sense of Fear Festival in the Czech Republic in 2006. Chong is a recipient of the National Arts Councils' Local Bursary and Georgette Chen Scholarship awards, and currently lectures part -time at LASALLE College of the Arts. Concept The inspiration for Tree Stories comes from the past when light played a major role in storytelling; from sharing folktales at bonfires to shadow plays; from magic lanterns to the cinema. The installation also refocuses attention on trees: inanimate living beings quietly growing and dyin g around us. Time seems to have forgotten them in spite of the important role they have played in protecting the health of our earth. Tree Stories is a tribute to the resilience and existence of these beings. Walking amidst the installation, the visitor re ads the illuminated text on the trunks and attempts to see the world from their point of view. The fictional passages encourage a dialogue between the reader and the tree, and allow the visitor to enter into an intimate encounter with nature. Hopefully, the Organised by Festival Direction by Held in i Light Marina Bay 2012 9 March – 1 April Marina Bay encounter enables the visitor to become more conscious of his/her responsibility toward the environment. In Chong's own words, “The site specific installation has come about through my reflection on the history of parks in the Marina Bay area such a s Esplanade Park, one of the oldest parks in Singapore. Since its opening after World War II, the trees there would have experienced the progression of the country and bore witness to the trials and times of our young nation.” Tree Stories is a festival c ommission. Organised by Festival Direction by Held in i Light Marina Bay 2012 9 March – 1 April Marina Bay Gap the Mind (2012) Be Takerng Pattanopas, Thailand Bio Be Takerng Pattanopas is a Bangkok -based artist who works primarily in sculptures and installations. Since embarking on his doctoral research at the University of Gloucestershire (UK) in 1996, Pattanopas’ work has explored the notion of space in relation to the human body. The spatial embodiments he creates have always been animated by precisely controlled lighting to create an effective visceral experience for viewers. Pattanopas has exhibited in London and other cities in the UK, Bangkok, Brussels, and New York. His works have been mentioned and reviewed in such magazines as Flash Art, Frieze and Art in America. Currently he is an assistant professor of art and design at Chulalongkorn University and Bangkok University. Concept Gap the Mind is the antithesis of most light installations which usually employ hi -tech visual vocabulary. Comprising of a long row of fabric shelters illuminated from within by different levels of pulsating lights and triggered by a programmed sound-scape, the work a ims to translate Asian vernacular rituality into the language of light art. The glowing fabric shelters are a reinterpretation of traditional umbrella shelters used by Thai monks, called glod . Within each glod is a set of low-energy LED lights programmed to emit different levels of light triggered by different sounds resonated from a batr , or a Thai monk’s metal food bowl. Gap the Mind is a powerful, multi - sensory expression of Pattanopas’ Thai cultural identity and his work in sculptural light art.
