Annex 2 I Light Marina Bay Artists & Installations Annex 2 i Light Marina Bay Artists & Installations Artist : Angela Chong (Singapore) Installation : ⊂/⊃ About the Installation The installation is a functional sculpture that illuminates at night while allowing the public to use it as a sitting area. Constructed out of acrylic sheets, the installation features coloured LED lights that are reflected onto the sheets. As a sculpture, it will also serve to give a futuristic edge to the environment. What’s Smart ? The artist uses LED lights to light up the edges of the acrylic sheets. The lights are programmed to change rhythmically to form a dynamic light display. About the Artist A graduate from RMIT Bachelor of Arts, Fine Arts (Honours), specializing in sculpture, Angela Chong has a keen interest in creating a narrative in her installation works. A recipient of the NAC Local Bursary and Georgette Chen Scholarship awards, her works deal with light and darkness, constantly blurring the line between fiction and ‘reality’. Her influences vary from literature to poetry, music to films. Her installations depict memories and an attachment between the object and a character using light projections. She is currently interested in creating interactive works. This is her first outdoor work dealing with light. She has been to several art residencies such as the Nes Artist Residency in Skagaströnd, Iceland in 2010, Youkobo Art Space in Tokyo, Japan in 2008 and for Sense of Fear Festival 2006, Tabor, Czech Republic and participated in 100 Points of Lights by Next Wave 2006 in Melbourne, Australia. She has been actively exhibiting locally in major exhibitions such as the Singapore Art Show 2005 and Visions and Illusions 2004. 1 Angela is currently a part-time Lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts with the Faculty of Foundation Studies. ************************ Artist : Chris Bosse (Germany) Installation : Digital Origami Tigers About the Installation The crouching digital tigers combine ancient lantern-making methods with cutting-edge digital design and fabrication technology, bringing East and West together through tradition and innovation. The tigers are inspired by “zhezhi”, a Chinese term for paper folding, which is more popularly known by its Japanese name “origami”. In producing this artwork, both traditional Chinese lantern makers from the Sichuan province of China, where lantern-making has been in practice for over 800 years, and local artisans were consulted. The Digital Origami Tigers are currently travelling the world as part of the World Wildlife Fund’s Year of the Tiger campaign. What’s Smart ? Pulsating low energy LED lighting bring the sculptures to life. About the Artist German-born architect Chris Bosse is the director of the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA) and Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology in Sydney. LAVA was founded in 2007 with offices in Sydney, Stuttgart and Abu Dhabi. LAVA has recently completed the design for the Michael Schumacher World Champion Tower in Abu Dhabi; Future Hotel Showcase Germany; architectural installations 'Green Void' and ‘Digital Origami Tigers’ in Sydney; the Sherman Bibliotheca in Sydney; the 2009 MTV Awards set in Sydney and the Sydney 'Tower Skin'. 2 LAVA won an international competition that garnered over 400 entries from the world’s highest profile architects to design the Heart of Masdar in Abu Dhabi, the world’s first eco city in the United Arab Emirates. The project for the city centre includes a plaza, hotel, convention centre and entertainment and retail facilities. Masdar won the Special Award - Environmental Category in the 2009 Cityscape Dubai Awards. For the Beijing Olympics, Bosse was a key designer of the Watercube, which was the winner of the Atmosphere Award at the 9th Venice Architecture Biennale and was recognized in the 2007 AR Awards for Emerging Architecture, Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), London. ************************ Artist : Edwin Cheong (Singapore) Installation : Positive Attracts About the Installation In almost every culture, the symbol of hope and optimism are represented as the immaterial light. Oxford Dictionary defines "Optimism" as "having hopefulness and confidence about the future or successful outcome of something; a tendency to take a favourable or hopeful view". The lighting installation explores the belief that the optimism of our mental state of mind (4th Dimension) can effect a positive outcome of our physical state (3rd Dimension). Readings and quotes such as "Laws of Attraction" by Thomas Troward, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, "The 4th Dimension" by Dr Cho Yonggi, "I think, therefore I am" by Rene Descartes deals with the importance of thinking positively if one were to expect a positive outcome. Entitled Positive Attracts , the installation consists of the artist's 9 favourite optimistic visionaries (Heroes) who have used their mental state to effect positive outcomes in their physical world. Inspired by songs such as "Rainbow Connection" and "Somewhere over the Rainbow", these exemplary Heroes incubate and are flushed with sweeps of rainbow color before another human (Dreamer) crosses their path. As 3 another “Dreamer” comes close to any of the Heroes, the intensity of positive white light will concentrate on where he/she is standing, “charging” him/her with “optimism” as he began to dream and think positively with the Hero. The “Dreamer” then walks away happy, knowing he/she is one step closer to his/her dreams. What’s Smart? RGB LED strips with software programming send waves of rainbow colours through the ‘Heroes’. Acoustic sensors detect human presences at close proximity to a particular ‘Hero’ which will trigger a series of lighting effects. About the Artist Artist Edwin Cheong began his career as an architect after receiving his Master of Architecture degree from the National University of Singapore in 2000. His relentless interest in 3-dimensional visual arts expanded his artistic explorations to fields of furniture, landscape and sculptures. Along with his art practice, Edwin Cheong Aesthetics Studio, he has served as a guest judge for local TV station MediaCorp's art competitions and has contributed numerous articles on Environmental Art to the major Mandarin local newspaper, Lianhe Zaobao. He serves/served as design + art educator in Singapore's art institutions such as Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and LaSalle-SIA College of Arts. His most notable work is the 33ft tall Youth Olympic Games' Commemorative Sculpture at Marina Bay, Singapore. ************************ Artist : Francesco Mariotti (Switzerland) Installation : Fire Flies About the Installation This installation is created from colourful PET-bottles and blinking diodes but yet retain the magical and whimsical qualities of fireflies. What’s Smart ? This installation transforms recycled materials into a beautiful work of art. Fire Flies only uses 75 watts and is solar powered. About the Artist 4 Francesco has lived and studied in Switzerland, France, Germany and South America. While studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, he focused on the complex relations between art, nature and technology. After a long stay in Latin America in the 1970s, he experimented with the possible interactions between electronic and IT devices and the creation of multi-sensorial installations and works. Francesco has participated in major international exhibitions, from Documenta in Kassel, 1968 to the Biennales in Sâo Paulo, 1969 and Medellin, 1979 as well as Expo in Osaka, 1991. He has carried out in-depth research on video installations and video art, becoming one of the organisers of the Video Art Festival in Locarno which was planned by his friend Rinaldo Bianda. In 2005, together with the biologist Stefan Ineichen, he organised the first Festival of Fireflies in Zurich. This experience led to the development of the project 'Immigration' for the Park of Living Art in Turin and for the Symposion Lindabrunn near Vienna. ************************ Artist : Ingo K Bracke (Germany) Installation : I C U Standt:punkt About the Installation ICU Standt:punkt is about shifting perceptions and Bracke articulates it through his canvas of light work through an intricate play of digital light language and impulses. His canvas transforms with every step, communicating in its own tempo with the rhythm of the city. With every flush of change, the point of view alters and evokes senses of recognition and anticipation. What’s Smart ? The installation uses highly efficient metal halide lamps, a special projection system and is powered by bio-diesel generators. About the Artist Ingo is an installation artist, light designer and scenographer. He works mainly with the sculptural medium of “light”. 5 Bracke studied architecture and scenography in Kaiserslautern and Hanover. He is a scholarship holder of DAAD at the theatre academy of Barcelona, completed his final diploma project on Thomas Mann’s novel “Death in Venice” and also studied at the Saarbrücken academy of visual arts (Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar) on audio-visual art with Professor Christina Kubisch, was appointed master-class student with a degree in installation art; scenography studies at the academy of fine arts, Dresden with Professor Johannes Leiacker, completed artistical research work on “light and space” and was appointed master-class student with a degree in scenography. Since 1999 he has produced numerous dramaturgical light concepts for concerts with classical and contemporary music for Peter Toth, Helmut Öhring, Markus Stockhausen,

Professor, Dept. of Electrical& Electronics Engineering, K.L.University,Vijayawada, India3 ABSTRACT: Final energy consumption can be analysed by taking into account the energy demand in each sector like industry,transportation,residential and agriculture.Energy consumption by 2015 year will amount to roughly 70% of the grossworldproduction,because of losses mainly in electric power production plants and in distribution and othertransformations inside energy industries.Energy saving is a social responsibility of every individual.In this paper we have analysed the different methods of energy auditing and we have analysed the energy consumption of our EEE department in K.L.University and provided the paths of less energy consumption. Keywords: Energy audit, auditing types, instruments, opportunities, pay back periods. I. INTRODUCTION An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy flows for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output.It shows where the power consumption is more in the given system.It can also be called as controlling of the power to avoid losses for maximize efficiency A) NEED FOR ENERGY AUDIT: In any industry, the three top operating expenses are often found to be energy (both electrical and thermal), labour and materials.

Foreword Singapore was designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Design in 2015 — the same year as our nation’s Golden Jubilee. Design and Singapore’s nation-building efforts have long been intertwined. As our Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, shared during a speech in 2018: “Design is a core element of our nation-building. Singapore is a nation by design. Nothing we have today is natural or happened by itself.” While our pioneers may not have thought of what they were doing as design innovation or thinking, it certainly was in essence. They were attuned to people’s needs and aspirations, had bold ideas and a strong vision, and dared to experiment.

    ANNEX A Light+HeART In this edition of i Light Marina Bay, the curatorial team has introduced the theme of “Light+HeART” to convey that “in the heart of the sustainability matters, is the matter of the heart”. Through this edition, we hope to inspire a collective change in our attitude and a widening of our perspective towards issues relating to sustainability. The coming edition is therefore about creating unique, happy and heart-felt installations to delight the audience while driving home the sustainability message. Using Marina Bay as a backdrop, the curatorial team has put together a line-up of 28 light art installations to transform Marina Bay into one huge public art gallery. At i Light Marina Bay 2014 , art will draw attention to the existing practices that are unsustainable, and help the public re-envision a more harmonious co-existence between man and the environment. i Light Marina Bay 2014 Friday, 7 March to Sunday, 30 March 2014 7.30pm to 11.00pm Marina Bay waterfront Free Admission www.ilightmarinabay.sg LIST OF ARTISTS AND INSTALLATIONS Interactivity through Collaborations These artworks demonstrate the creative use of technology to provoke an emotive awareness towards ourselves and our environment.

    EMBARGOED UNTIL 9 APRIL 2018, 0000HRS MEDIA RELEASE 9 April 2018 A WIDE RANGE OF EVENTS FOR SINGAPORE’S BICENTENNIAL COMMEMORATION IN 2019 The eclectic mix will showcase the width and depth of Singapore’s 700-year history Singapore, 9 April 2018 – The Singapore Bicentennial Office (SBO) has announced a series of events to commemorate the nation’s bicentennial in 2019. The bicentennial is an opportunity to reflect on 200 years of history from 1819, one of the key turning points that changed our trajectory. It will also examine the 500 years prior to 1819, as these formative years lend context to our evolution. Singaporeans can look forward to the Singapore Bicentennial’s anchor event: an experiential showcase held at the Fort Canning Centre from June to September 2019, which will bring Singaporeans on a reflective journey of key milestones in 700 years of Singapore’s history, and the significant contributions of Singapore’s early settlers and communities. Another anchor event in 2019 is the Find Your Place in History trails, which will feature projection installations at various historical spots, some lesser-known than others. The trails will allow Singaporeans to experience Singapore through the years, and learn of the less prominent points in our history, in-situ. Both will bring history alive in an engaging and interactive way for all Singaporeans, young and old, from all walks of life. Many events in the line-up will leverage pre-existing annual events and will feature a more purposeful look further back into Singapore’s history. Taken together, the events in the 2019 calendar will provide many opportunities for Singaporeans to reflect on our history through different platforms.
